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?

Well, I didn't get it, but that is because the one and only time I read Lord of the Flies (yes, for an English class) I loathed it so much that I seriously almost set it on fire after the class was over. It's the only book in the world that I hate. So I thought he was making a sex joke. with the conch thing, or a joke about listening to the ocean in it. [grins] But I like that he's able make over-the-head literary jokes, that makes me all warm and squishy inside. :)

Hee. I bet that would have gone down well, setting fire to your book.

But more important. A sex joke! I want to believe that too. It wouldn't be the first time after all.
