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 731 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 295 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 723 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 293 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 702 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 826 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 695 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 761 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 658 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 645 Views

Perhaps we should do a Book Club on The Ugly Duckling. Rebekah - 26/07/2010 12:41:49 PM 733 Views
Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 671 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 340 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 289 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 348 Views
This thread was much more fun than I anticipated. nossy - 26/07/2010 05:48:15 PM 703 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 728 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 680 Views
