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?

I made the reference to Lord of the Flies right away, and always found it slightly amusing that he immediately gets interrupted and thus can't finish what he's saying, when the whole point of the conch shell in LotF is so that "he who holds the shell gets to speak"

is it really that random a reference? I thought most (US) kids had to read that book in 8th or 9th grade.

also, A+ to Mikey to knowing what he'd need to survive his band, since something needs to shut Geeway up sometimes :-P

Obviously Mikey needs to get his own conch shell *g*

Wondering how well known the reference is is what made me make this post, and it seems quite a few people haven't read LotF. The times are changing it seems.
