The Stephen King Trivia Thread

[Letti]

Should I explain anything? I don't think so but let me see..
We pop a question about our favourite writer and the one who can first give the right answer they can ask the next question.



How many daughters or sons has King got?

[Daghain]

King has two sons and one daughter.

[Letti]

If that's true (*tries to find the information she is so crazy she asked a question she is not sure about the answer and now is bumping her head to the wall*) your turn dear Daghain. :D

[Daghain]

LOL I think I'm right. Owen, Joe, and Naomi. :)

[Letti]

Right. I am waiting for the next question eagerly. :D

[Daghain]

Okay, let's see.

What college did Stephen King graduate from?

[Letti]

the University of Maine?

[Daghain]

You are correct! He got his degree at the University of Maine at Orono.

Back to you!

[Letti]

Easy one.

What's his wife's name?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Tabitha

[Mordred Deschain]

just posting so I get the thread....waiting for a question

[ZoNeSeeK]

Im 100% thats right so i'll proceed:

Where did he and Tabitha meet (and what were they doing)?

(Edited)

[Daghain]

At the University of Maine, Orono. :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

Yes thats correct but i was after more information :)

[Daghain]

Picky, picky. :)

He met his wife, formerly Tabitha Spruce, at the University library, where they both worked. :D

[ZoNeSeeK]

:) you're up

[Daghain]

What was Stephen's father's name?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Donald

[Daghain]

Feather is in your court, Zone. :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Which baseball team does King barrack for?

[Daghain]

BoSox, baby. BoSox. :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Botox?

[Daghain]

Boston Red Sox :)

[ZoNeSeeK]

Who's sox?

[Daghain]

Oh FFS, do you accept it as a correct answer or not? :lol:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Oh yes, of course its correct. :)

[Daghain]

Gracias, amigo. :D

Next question:

Which short story did Stephen King swear he would never again release to the public and why?

Work for it, kids. :lol:

[Brice]

Umm...the only one that comes to mind isn't a short story. Rage was allowed to go out of print and stay that way due to school shootings. If that's not it I don't even have a guess.

[Daghain]

You got it, my man. Stephen King retired Rage because of the Columbine Shootings. I live in Colorado and we all kind of went, "yeah, that'll help." WTF???

Oh well, if he feels better, I guess.

I guess you could call it a novella rather than a short story, but yeah, you got it!

[Brice]

Aside from Peter Straub who has coauthored a fiction book with King?

[ZoNeSeeK]

Stewart O'Nan, for Faithfull, a book about botox.

[Aaron]

But Faithful was non-fiction. As far as I know, King hasn't collaborated on any fiction projects with anyone aside from Straub. Unless you'd count Bachman with the whole Desperation/Regulators deal.

[Brice]

But Faithful was non-fiction. As far as I know, King hasn't collaborated on any fiction projects with anyone aside from Straub. Unless you'd count Bachman with the whole Desperation/Regulators deal.


A clue then:

Unless you'd count his childhood writing also.

[ZoNeSeeK]

*slaps brice*

Mandy, from 5th grade?

:P

[Daghain]

His brother. :)

[Brice]

*slaps brice*

Mandy, from 5th grade?

:P

:o :o :o
You got it!!!



yeah right! :P

[Brice]

His brother. :)


Well, while he did collaborate with his brother somewhat for Dave's Rag (which was a magazine Dave published and printed himself devoted to local events) the answer I was looking for was King's childhood friend Chris Chesley with whom he collaborated for a collection of short stories called People, Places, and Things.

While you're answer wasn't the one I was looking for King did collaborate with him some so that makes you closest to right and it is rightly your turn. :)

[Daghain]

Well, I never would have gotten the right one! :D

Why did King never join the military?

[MonteGss]

His poor eyesight?

[Daghain]

3 more and you got it. There are 4 reasons.
:)

[Darkthoughts]

The other three are:
high blood pressure
flat feet
punctured eardrums.

[Brice]

Damn, he's got damn near every excuse don't he.? :lol:

[Daghain]

Darkthoughts got it! ;)

[Darkthoughts]

Coolio! Ok, heres my q:

What was King's nickname for his editor at Scribner?

[Darkthoughts]

Did I kill the game? Want a clue...the answer can be found in the intro to one of the stories in Everything's Eventual...

[Letti]

You didn't. :D I am just slow like hell.

[Matt]

I love this thread!

I don't have an answer but as soon as I have a minute, I am going to google it.

[Letti]

I am working on it... yeah...

[Daghain]

I think it's Google-proof. And my book is at home. :(

[Letti]

If it's Google-proof I am helpless. :lol:

[Daghain]

I won't be home for 3-4 hours, but if no one gets it I'll try to remember to look it up. :)

[Letti]

Be ready. ;)

[Darkthoughts]

*cue evil laughter*

[sarah]

Coolio! Ok, heres my q:

What was King's nickname for his editor at Scribner?


Did I kill the game? Want a clue...the answer can be found in the intro to one of the stories in Everything's Eventual...



eeeeek! I've thumbed through my book like twice and couldn't find it. Grrr.
:pullhair:

[Darkthoughts]

In the intro...

[sarah]

grrr.


AGENT MOLDOW!! :dance:


if that is correct then my question is:


what do stephen king and his brother call it when they have to go to the bathroom?

hint. on writing.

[Darkthoughts]

Woo Hoo!! :lol:

[Letti]

Guys... you are incredible... I think I will be able to answer one of your questions and have the right to ask a new in 10 years. :D

[sarah]

my question is:


what do stephen king and his brother call it when they have to go to the bathroom?

hint. on writing.



BUMP!

[Letti]

I check your question every single day Maerlyn.. it's always the same.. and I can't answer.
But I check it every day.

[ZoNeSeeK]

Havent read it :(

[Darkthoughts]

Don't have On Writing either :(

[sarah]

oh you two have got to read it. The first half of the book is an autobiography. It is a MUST read.

[Daghain]

I thought I had it, but I don't.

*skips off to Amazon*

[ZoNeSeeK]

Ooh ok, sounds good. I like the way king writes his nonfiction stuff

[Letti]

I think we need a new rule here.
If nobody can find out the right answer to the question during 7 days the one who asked it can give the answer to their own question and they can ask a new one.
What do you think?

[Daghain]

Sounds good to me. :)

[tamez]

I think it's a good idea Letti

[sarah]

I like that rule. Ok the answer is Push

Now onto another question:

What does Stephen King do to celebrate Halloween?

[Brice]

Offer up praise to Elder Gods by dancing naked on his front lawn inside a flaming pentagram drenched in the blood of innocents?

[sarah]

:rofl:


um, no.

[Letti]

Offer up praise to Elder Gods by dancing naked on his front lawn inside a flaming pentagram drenched in the blood of innocents?

It sounds asbolutely all right to me but sadly it wasn't my question.

I am happy to see the new question, mearlyn, thank you for it - I will try me best to find the answer.

[Brice]

Yes, he does. He's just trying to keep it quiet.

[Darkthoughts]

:lol:

[Matt]

Stephen used to hold a full on halloween party for fans that he has since stopped.

[sarah]

Correct a mundo

[Matt]

**does a little dance**

Lets see. In what town in Maine does Stephen King live?

[ZoNeSeeK]

[Matt]

That is correct, you are up.

What local sporting team did Steve & Tabitha King sponsor in the early 90s?

The University Of Maine swim team?

[ZoNeSeeK]

[DarkRain]

Why did Stephen choose the hospital in Bridgton

[Letti]

Uhhh... did he choose it??
Was it the nearest?
I guess no..

[Storyslinger]

Damnit Letti stole my answer :cry: :D

[Matt]

I have to look but I believe it was because no one would figure he went there.

As opposed to the one in his home town/area

[Storyslinger]

Ahh.....I see, make sence

[Letti]

foxy

[DarkRain]

[QUOTE=Letti;37657]Uhhh... did he choose it??

[DarkRain]

I have to look but I believe it was because no one would figure he went there.

As opposed to the one in his home town/area


nope, sorry

[ZoNeSeeK]

Hrm, i thought he was taken to north cumberland in bridgton and then immediately airlifted to Central Maine Hospital in lewiston once he was stable - he wouldnt have had any part in the decision making at all, would he?

[Letti]

Hrm, i thought he was taken to north cumberland in bridgton and then immediately airlifted to Central Maine Hospital in lewiston once he was stable - he wouldnt have had any part in the decision making at all, would he?

I thought the same... but you can see...
How the blue hell can anyone choose in such a situation??
Okay.
No problem.
We are working on it. :)

[DarkRain]

Hrm, i thought he was taken to north cumberland in bridgton and then immediately airlifted to Central Maine Hospital in lewiston once he was stable - he wouldnt have had any part in the decision making at all, would he?

when the EMT's arrived, and were loading him in the ambulance, they asked him which hospital he would prefer. He chose North Cumberland and gave his reason. After arrival, he was airlifted out.

[Storyslinger]

because the gunslinger told him to :D:excited: :lol:

[DarkRain]

nope

[Matt]

I'm getting the answer for this tonight. I assume its also at the end of dt 7?

[DarkRain]

I'm getting the answer for this tonight. I assume its also at the end of dt 7?

I don't remeber it being mentioned in any of the DT books, but if you find it in one, rock-on.

[Matt]

I'm not thinking it is going to be easy, someone else may have to tackle it.

[DarkRain]

:nana:
would you like a hint:evil:

[Storyslinger]

YES DAMN YOU DARK RAIN:lol:

[Brice]

Close enough, he doesn't autograph photos and the like as he's "not a rock or movie star". You're turn :P

[Letti]

Close enough, he doesn't autograph photos and the like as he's "not a rock or movie star". You're turn :P

[Brice]

Sword In The Darkness

Sword In The Darkness
The Aftermath

Beings as he pretty much publishes anything readable those must be some real stinkers.

[Brice]

Sword In The Darkness
The Aftermath



Someone else can go again.

Well, Blaze was written in '73 and he just published it. At least one chapter of Sword In The Darkness has been published also.

Four out of five answers are correct. That´s enough. :biggrin:
Congrats ... now it's your turn with the next question.

[stkmw02]

Hmmm... I'll make these tough. ;)

1. Old MacDonald had a camera.
2. What do Julia Shumway and the New York Tribune have in common?
3. What you get after purchasing a lot of sweet treats.
4. No Talisman here, but there is a tail of aliens?
5. Guess the "theme" that ties all of these together.

[stkmw02]

Can we offer prizes for the person who guesses correctly, or is submitting the next trivia incentive enough??

[Brice]

Well, the next trivia has generally been the prize, but if you'd like to offer some additional incentive it's not a problem. :)

[Shannon]

I have no idea what you are saying. These are trivia questions? lol Ummm, ok ... I don't know what I'm guessing so I'll just post thoughts, lol

1. Old MacDonald had a camera. - Macdonald, something to do with the publisher?
2. What do Julie Shumway and the New York Tribune have in common? - Well there's a JULIA Shumway in Under The Dome. I thought the answer would be "They're both Under The Dome" if the New York Tribune building had a dome on it, but a quick Google search showed me that it didn't.
3. What you get after purchasing a lot of sweet treats. - Sick? This should be something King-y, right? Ummm ... wait PURCHASE a lot of sweet treats ... Hmmm, broke?
4. No Talisman here, but there is a tail of aliens? - I have no idea what this means, lol
5. Guess the "theme" that ties all of these together. - I give up, lol, HELP!

[stkmw02]

lol Sorry! I meant to post the hints when I got home from work, but I lost track of the thread. Very valiant effort, Shannon!!
Good lead with #1, thanks for pointing out my error in #2 and yes Under the Dome is the right place to look and further research (after a hint) might help, for #3 a King-y answer is needed and you're on the right track with your guesses!

Thank, Brice! I think I'll offer the winner's choice of either a personalized King related artwork drawn by myself, or a new melon photo. :lol:

FIRST HINTS:

1. Old MacDonald was a dedicated farmer.
2. The Dome had no foundation but the Tribune did.
3. If you don't pay this, you'll have to deal with the men in the black suits.
4. Sometimes King is only half the story...
5. There is no error in the original #4 statement.

[Brice]

4.Black House

[stkmw02]

Sorry, Brice. But... what do Black House and Talisman have in common? (The tail of aliens will let you know which book the answer to #4 is in.)

[Shannon]

I still have no idea, lol.

[stkmw02]

Well... for number one... follow your line of thinking with "publisher" only... um... MacDonald isn't the publisher? So replace publisher with... uh... some other (perhaps italicized) word? Which will help you locate a title, which is the answer to #1.

[Shannon]

1. John D. MacDonald
2. Horace Greeley
3. ?
4. ?
5. All real people?

[stkmw02]

If you'd like, you can PM the answer to #2 so I can confirm it for you... because if you did figure it out, it might help you with the rest. ;)

[Shannon]

I edited my post because I figured out #1 as well.

For 1, you have the name but need the title that was dedicated... For 2 you have too much for the answer. And #5 is incorrect.

I know it must be frustrating... I make very difficult things like this for my students in the high school library. As much as they "hate" it, they always ask me to make up more. :lol:

[Shannon]

Are the answers all King book titles?

Anyone else wanna jump in here? lol

[stkmw02]

Nope. The first is a title... the others are not. lol Perhaps everyone else is lurking?

[stkmw02]

SECOND HINTS:

1. Old MacDonald's camera is a Polaroid.
2. Julia and the founder are on a first name basis.
3. Careful with all those sweets, they attract bees.
4. Looking for a name.
5. If you get one, the rest will follow.

[stkmw02]

BTW, I have a melons pic ready just in case...

[stkmw02]

1. Old MacDonald had a camera.
2. What do Julia Shumway and the New York Tribune have in common?
3. What you get after purchasing a lot of sweet treats.
4. No Talisman here, but there is a tail of aliens?
5. Guess the "theme" that ties all of these together.

FIRST HINTS:
1. Old MacDonald was a dedicated farmer.
2. The Dome had no foundation but the Tribune did.
3. If you don't pay this, you'll have to deal with the men in the black suits.
4. Sometimes King is only half the story...
5. There is no error in the original #4 statement.

SECOND HINTS:

5. Thing in common.

[Brice]

Just bringing all the clues together.


lol Sorry! I meant to post the hints when I got home from work, but I lost track of the thread. Very valiant effort, Shannon!!
Good lead with #1, thanks for pointing out my error in #2 and yes Under the Dome is the right place to look and further research (after a hint) might help, for #3 a King-y answer is needed and you're on the right track with your guesses!

Thank, Brice! I think I'll offer the winner's choice of either a personalized King related artwork drawn by myself, or a new melon photo. :lol:

[Brice]

Oh, now I just quit my job to try to find an answer.

[stkmw02]

The lack of trivia attempts is saddening. Shannon was totally on the right track with a few. No guesses?
