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 659 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 254 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 647 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 252 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 622 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 742 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 614 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 682 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 578 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 572 Views

Perhaps we should do a Book Club on The Ugly Duckling. Rebekah - 26/07/2010 12:41:49 PM 650 Views
Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 601 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 306 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 252 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 315 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 653 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 603 Views
