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 592 Views
In fairness, it should properly be cygnet and not duckling. *NM* Ghavrel - 25/07/2010 10:00:09 PM 228 Views
Is there a story called "The Ugly Cygnet?" nossy - 25/07/2010 10:50:45 PM 590 Views
Point being the title is technically incorrect *NM* Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 01:27:48 AM 222 Views
Then I must conclude that our points are different. nossy - 26/07/2010 01:35:01 AM 565 Views
I vaguely remember the story. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 07:56:09 AM 688 Views
The cygnet is raised in a family of ducks. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:14:20 AM 544 Views
I looked it up, but Wikipedia was unclear. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:20:39 AM 621 Views
Surely you have a wikipedia quicksearch option, or a bookmark? Tim - 26/07/2010 10:25:24 AM 516 Views
I refer you to my title. And then my edits. Ghavrel - 26/07/2010 10:30:54 AM 512 Views

Perhaps we should do a Book Club on The Ugly Duckling. Rebekah - 26/07/2010 12:41:49 PM 588 Views
Basically it's a metaphor for being gay Mark - 26/07/2010 05:17:29 PM 542 Views
I never knew Andersen was gay. Makes a lot of sense, though. *NM* Legolas - 26/07/2010 06:24:05 PM 279 Views
I always took it as a metaphor for being a nerd *NM* Camilla - 28/07/2010 10:44:18 AM 223 Views
I always took it as a blatant lie told to comfort ugly children. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 10:52:05 AM 287 Views
This thread was much more fun than I anticipated. nossy - 26/07/2010 05:48:15 PM 575 Views

I'm going to leap to her defence here. Tim - 26/07/2010 10:19:22 AM 597 Views
Your argument holds no water. nossy - 26/07/2010 07:54:58 PM 554 Views
