I must confess I don’t understand half of what you guys are referring to.
You’re not missing much, it’s just some throwaway references that aren’t central to the point.
“The whale, the fun and the clarity” has the same structure as the movie “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” and also starts with an animal.
swallowed whole by a vile white whale
Swallowed whole by the whale was supposed to say that the content factor was secondary to the “whale factor”. The “swallowed” also allures to the whole Jonah story (who lived in a whale’s stomach), the whole / [wh]ile / whale was just infantile switching out of vowels, since interestingly all have a Hamming distance of just 1 (you only need to swap one letter).
talk about nomen est omen, nom nom
Your name contains a food item, and you provide guilty comfort food for thought with your post, so “nomen est omen” applies, i.e. your name is a sign of your purpose. The “nom nom” I just appended because it keeps with the food theme, and also because interestingly the “nom nom” is a partial anagram of “nomen est omen”.
Yea … not exactly essential to my arguments. Which in a way does support my points! :)

So it had nothing to do with Moby Dick?
No, of course not!
