Not sure if the joke is the guy not recognizing Stephen King, or him not knowing his own books cause he was high out of his mind when he wrote them.

Whose that Stephen guy? And why does he think he's a king. Is this some new alpha male tag thing?

does it count if you were blitzed on cocaine the entire time

I knew that Stephen King was a writer, not that one of the books he'd written was The Stand, but would have if I'd read it. And I could assume given the circumstances.
