As I was walking in Boston last week, I spotted a lanky ghost of a man with a bag of junk slung over his shoulder. He was dressed slightly homeless, but clean and ambling towards me. Turns out, he recognized me from my work with charity.
“Gordo, sorry to bug you. Big fan of your writing,” he extended a long, soft hand. “Can I get picture with you?”
“Sure,” I said.
“Thanks, man. I’ll send you the picture,” he promised. I could see he was really nervous and I laughed.
“Tell ya what. If you send it, I’ll put it on Gordon Keith dot com.”
His face lit up. I’m sure it made the guy’s day to have such a brush with greatness.
Gordo, can I shake the hand of Fake Ribby?
I love posing with anonymous P1's!

Did his hand feel like four recently slaughtered eels and a happy elfs’ grenis?
Jimmy Johnson has made the cut as a Survivor contestant. I’m not gonna bet against him. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/football/cowboys/stories/072110dnosposurvivor.2da4df1.html
I always pictured him as much taller.
He is getting old, but I have read every book he has written, The Talisman is still my favorite book.
Am I seeing that correctly Gordo? Is King wearing velcro shoes? Those are right up there on the list of life’s “I Give Up” sandwiched between “dressing as a male drag queen only to then be arrested for having sex with a small dog while in the empty moat of an English castle” & “being rushed to the ER b/c you decided to cover your dong with peanut butter & let your dog lick it off, but he decides to take a bite instead”. Geez! Love the guy, but GOT to get some “laced” shoes!
That rocks Gordo!
Win Forever: Live, Work, and Play Like a Champion?
Is Pete Carroll Chris-Chris’s father? What a DB!
Not only does he look homeless, I’m pretty sure his shirt is on backwards – look at how it sits awkwardly against his neck…
Notice Gordo put his sunglasses on for the picture, douchy?
Ya…Ich spreche zu douchebag.
I think he stole those sunglasses from me.
Actually, these photos are out of order in order to support my fake story.
Brush with greatness? Does eating burgers and chips at Rosie’s Burgers with Don Henley and Glenn Frey count? Henley was a regular at Rosie’s when she was alive. Glenn only came in with him once (at least when I was there.)
Also played at the same blackjack table with Macy Gray for several hours in Vegas. Even gave her $100 when my bad advice caused her to lose a high $$ hand. She didn’t talk much.
“Even gave her $100 when my bad advice caused her to lose a high $$ hand. ”
bullcoughshit
wow jess
He has a sever case of Frankenstein-mouth.
*severe, I guess I’m insane now.
At first glance I thought it was Stephen King.
second and third glance, too…because it is…
This is stephen king’s long lost gay brother….
Right???
The seed of the next horror novel has been planted.
Who’s that gray haired dude standing next to Bob Seger?
Thought that was Ron Moore from BSG meeting a guy leaving the asylum. It would explain the shoes…
Whoa!! So intense!!!
The reason he was so eager to take a picture with you is because he is not really Stephen King. He is Steven King the best friend of the retired bus driver for Willie Nelson.
I’m sure that’s exactly how the conversation went.
I like his white velcro shoes… nice…
So freakin’ cool! Stephen King is excellent with the writing and the words and stuff. He’s my favorite author in this today.
Does flying to florida with Eddie Money count hahahaha
They still make velcro shoes for adults?
Hey Gordo, you think he will use you as a character in his upcoming book?
Geniusus are strange…evidenced by the fact that he probably has $500 million in the bank and he’s wearing $10 payless shoes….what a bad ass…Wonder what his mind is screaming at him as he tries to fall asleep….
Got ya beat, Gordo. Saturday, in Garland, I met George W. while mountain biking. Got a pic too. Scoreboard!
I noticed Gordo loses the wedding ring when trolling the streets for something to penetrate. Well played.
or did you pitch your idea about a book about Half Cat???
Fake.
So awesome. I thought for sure you were overselling the brush with greatness earlier in the week, but alas, you did not.
Now, just imagine the bewilderment in the literary world when it’s learned that the evil villain in King’s next book is named “Sports Panties.”
How confused was he when you approached and asked if you could “talk about AC/DC with him” and it turned out you weren’t talking about the band?
He looks like a skinny Jub-Jub. Same freaky mouth thing.
the sun is your friend, Stephen. It helps your body make vitamin D, which turns out to be pretty important, it gives you a healthy glow, and it makes you appear to be alive…Take the lap-top out by the pool, your books are scary enough without you appearing to be un-dead.
i’m pretty sure if he took your advice he’d still look undead, just more tan
still has more money than everyone in your gene pool put together though
I’m writing a Stephen King-esque novel. First everything is okay. Then something weird happens. Then a whole bunch of weird stuff happens. And you get scared. And then a whole bunch of people die. Then its over. The end.
Soo coooool! You are one luck man Gordo. Hope you didn’t spread any bad spirits that might create a writer’s block for the King. Although he could definitely take your perversion and run with it. BTW, Kindle Rules!
Listening to this took me back to my young teenager days and how Suzy Hoffs used to make my pants go absolutely bonkers.
Google shows that shes still got it
They do walk like Egyptians -
Cool that he took a picture with you, he has always seemed like a down to earth guy.
Much better than when I ‘met’ Charlton Heston at the Anatole; I didn’t even talk to him just smiled and nodded and he looked at me like I was a damn dirty ape for making eye contact.
I met Chuck Heston, and he was very nice to me. I had a 10 minute conversation with him about Dallas. It was at the Anatole, so it must have been around the same time you saw him. Maybe he was angry from talking to me.
“Gordon, I hear he is a great kisser! Do you agree?”
Win. And I just realized that he looks like a teacher I had in Jr. High… and it was a woman.
Did he have a telltale scar on his throat from a past repirator use?
Oldie but goodie: http://cbs13.com/slideshows/Married.Names.Hyphenate.20.462840.html Funny name combinations
i thought it was the satellite boys?
gordon’s got the hank jr. look going with the glasses on……
At first I was amazed by your brush with greatness, but something then confused me…..
You are the voice of Fake Ribby?
That would mean there is a real Ribby Paultz?
Frightening.
Why does Gordo have a crazed sex look in his eye while staring at the mans package?
ALL HAIL BOOBS!!!
I believe it was Poltergeist II, but the evil priest that walked around singing that creepy tune….yeah, that’s him….that’s him in a ball cap.
Omg. Steven King, I can’t believe it. SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gordon you look like the gynormousust Kris Kris ever when you had the nerve to put on your shades and crack that half arse smile. You folded hard like a cheap suit in the moment of greatness, spare
Gordon, a very nice thing for you to do. That’s a wonderful thing to do… For the first time, I actually felt proud to be a P-1 (kidding) Warmed my day up. You are a good man Charlie Brown
Colin (aka titan@yahoo.com)
less self stroking, more kick-ass content.
I can’t believe you would go out in public dressed like that. If you want to get raped by a pack of Katrina survivors, you’re certainly dressed for it.
Did he ask you to sign a copy of Full Disclosure?
The bloated Gordo and Fire Marshall Bill?
