I don’t know, he’s just an astectically pleasing little guy.
Actually it has more to do with Jake the crow that Brooks took in and nursed back to health from Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.
It is usually believed that the crow is a symbol of bad luck and death, but it is not always the case. As we have already said, a crow may be a symbol of life magic and mysteries. It also symbolizes intelligence, flexibility and destiny.
In that text of positive thoughts-- the SKMB represents the magic and mysteries that SK gives to his constant readers. Those of the SKMB membership symbolize intelligence, flexibility and destiny (ka)*
*Ka. Ka is a plot element in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. It is a word of the fictional language High Speech. In the books, it is a mysterious force that leads all living (and unliving) creatures. It is the will of Gan, the approximate equivalent of destiny or fate, in King's fictional language of High Speech.
Thanks, I didn't know that. Curious, though, why that that image was selected to symbolize the SKMB.
So Ka represents crow talk?
Crows show up in a lot of Steve's works and it was an easy image to use in combination with the SKMB logo. It was named Jake because of the Shawshank connection.

Make sense. When thinking of crows one often goes to the writings of King. Thankfully rats in the corn wasn't chosen.

No, that's caw.From Robin Furth's The Dark Tower concordance:
"Like many words in High Speech, ka has multiple meanings and so is difficult to define precisely. It signifies life force, consciousness, duty, and destiny. In the vulgate, or low speech, it also means a place to which an individual must go. The closest terms in our language are probably fate and destiny, although ka also implies karma, or the accumulated destiny (and accumulated debt) of many existences....."
Ka-Destiny/fate in the High Speech
It was a play on like sounding words. I should have put the winky eye smiley after the comment.

Oh, good. I thought I had pulled a clustermug.
Is it true the word ‘pie-hole’ was coined by King?
Etymology[edit]Oh, good. I thought I had pulled a clustermug.
Is it true the word ‘pie-hole’ was coined by King?
From pie + hole. Sometimes attributed to Stephen King.
Pie hole is an interesting term that originated in the United States, though it is related to a British term. We will look at the meaning of the term pie hole, where it came from and some examples of its use in sentences.
Pie hole is an American term for a person’s mouth. Obviously, the idea is that the mouth is where someone puts bites of pie. Interestingly, the term pie hole has only been in use since the 1980s, though there is a British term that was in use before this time. The British corollary to the term pie hole is cake hole, a phrase used in Britain during World War II and recorded in the book Service Slang written by Hunt and Pringle in 1943. Today, cake hole has more or less fallen by the wayside. Pie hole is used when humorously discussing the process of eating something, and is often used in the phrase shut your pie hole! which means “be quiet!” According to The Oxford English Dictionary, pie hole is correctly rendered as two words, though it is sometimes seen as one word as in piehole.
