Ken C replied to Debbie's discussion Dragons in the group Dragon's Breath
"But I love the dragons that talk and are usually more intelligent than most humans. Kind of like the Houyhnhnms in Gulliver's Travels. Neigh -- exactly like them!"

Jason Lilly replied to Debbie's discussion Dragons in the group Dragon's Breath
"I was going to list Smaug as my favorite, as well as Draco from Dragonheart (that's the one voiced by Sean Connery). I don't care much for dragons that are just depicted as brainless animals who roar and blow fire and eat stuff. But I love…"

Ken C replied to Debbie's discussion Dragons in the group Dragon's Breath
"I didn't realize shopping for a dragon was like shopping for a car. Automatic (marshmallow toaster). Power breathing. Fly wheels. The whole nine yards. But really -- what does a baby dragon look like when it comes out of its egg? That's…"

I am again so delighted. We have been told that New Zealand is the most literate country in the world.
