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 708 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 280 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 697 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 273 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 671 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 797 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 669 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 732 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 630 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 620 Views

Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 650 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 324 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 275 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 333 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 700 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 657 Views
