Hmm. We all know someone like that, don't we.
"Just when you think you've seen it all, out pops papa with his conch shell."
 or click here

Nope. No idea what that means. Anyone?

    My grand parents had a large conch shell that I used to play with - they can be quite impressive! See http://www.answers.com/topic/conch

    My mental image involved a cross between one of those terribly tacky tourist shows on Pacific islands and that scene in Pride and Prejudice where
    Mary decides she's going to entertain the company on the piano and nobody's going to stop her...

    An Ernest Hemingway in Key West reference, maybe?

    Look up Steve Turre. You can play those shells like a horn.

    Maybe a combination of watching Survivor and reading Lord of the Flies?

    Disney's Little Mermaid kinda starts out that way. Going along just fine under the ocean then BAM. There's papa with his conch.

    Is there any reason why the US merchandise site still doesn't have the "Onesie" quote??

    Obviously he's referring to papa smurf being a good leader by using a conch shell as in Lord of the Flies... Happy birthday :)

    there's a radio show in australia (called Hamish & Andy) that I listen to via podcast that uses a conch horn every time there's something awkward going on that needs the awkward silence to be broken. maybe papa just added to the awkwardness?
