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 603 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 231 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 598 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 229 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 574 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 696 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 552 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 628 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 527 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 522 Views

Perhaps we should do a Book Club on The Ugly Duckling. Rebekah - 26/07/2010 12:41:49 PM 598 Views
Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 554 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 284 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 228 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 290 Views
This thread was much more fun than I anticipated. nossy - 26/07/2010 05:48:15 PM 583 Views

She's so adorable. Rebekah - 25/07/2010 11:11:59 PM 692 Views
I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 604 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 564 Views
