Oh yeah Spriteling Send a noteboard - 26/07/2010 09:23:18 PM
You know when I pansied out of walking on the top?

There were cygnets swimming around, and you saw them and made your comment.


Still, my defense is that I'd never read it! Gosh.

Ooh, brownie points snoopcester - 25/07/2010 09:54:34 PM 590 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 228 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 588 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 221 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 564 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 686 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 543 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 618 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 515 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 511 Views

Perhaps we should do a Book Club on The Ugly Duckling. Rebekah - 26/07/2010 12:41:49 PM 586 Views
Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 539 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 278 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 223 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 286 Views
This thread was much more fun than I anticipated. nossy - 26/07/2010 05:48:15 PM 572 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 594 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 552 Views
