Ooh, brownie points snoopcester - 25/07/2010 09:54:34 PM 638 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 244 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 627 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 244 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 603 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 722 Views

I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 660 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 554 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 552 Views
Edits duly noted. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:43:59 AM 545 Views

Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 580 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 296 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 244 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 305 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 634 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 591 Views
