I've been talking about this elsewhere and am curious.

Mikey's comment about the conch shell, do you get what he means?

( sorry for the bad quality btw, but this is the specific section I wanted )

I was reading elsewhere today and came across comments that said his conch shell comment proves that he's a weirdo that says stupid things. And really, the reference can't be that obscure surely?

This clip - and a lot of other MCR ones - always vex me because the others seem incapable of letting Mikey finish his sentences.

I'm assuming it's either a Lord of the Flies (don't get me started on that book) reference or, like the others have said, a point about hearing the echo of your words in a conch. Given that it sounds like he says something about talking to yourself it seems more likely he was referencing the echo idea but I don't think the Lord of the Flie reference is much of a stretch.

There's a vid on You Tube about how Gerard tends to cut Mikey off a lot. It makes me wonder if they're like that in private, or if it's just when they're around press.

Yeah, it could be either one really, and it's not like we'll ever know. Mostly I was just annoyed that people were saying that the comment showed he was stupid.

I know that vid. I'd assume they're sort of like that privately and it comes out a lot more in their public personas.

I just don't get the Mikey is stupid comments. He hasn't done anything - as far as I can see - that would make him stand out as especially stupid.
