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 605 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 232 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 599 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 575 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 697 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 554 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 630 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 528 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 524 Views

Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 555 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 229 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 291 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 607 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 565 Views
