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 714 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 281 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 702 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 275 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 676 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 800 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 674 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 735 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 634 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 623 Views

Perhaps we should do a Book Club on The Ugly Duckling. Rebekah - 26/07/2010 12:41:49 PM 712 Views
Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 654 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 325 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 276 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 334 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 704 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 660 Views
