Amazing the things kids will do ......
Memo to children and adults for that matter everywhere: Dont try to emulate Flick from "A Christmas Story." Ever. Your tongue will get stuck to a metal pole when the temperature is -2.
Boise fire officials were able to help a boy whose tongue was stuck to a metal fence pole outside the Fairmont pool near the corner of Milwaukee and Northview streets Tuesday morning. Firefighters didn't ask him his age but said he was probably 10.
The boy is OK, Boise Fire Capt. Bill Tinsley said Tuesday morning. The boys tongue was bleeding a little bit but there was no visible tearing, Tinsley said.
Ive been doing this 20 some years and this is the first (tongue frozen to pole call) Ive had, Tinsley said. Poor guy.
A woman driving by the pool saw the boy standing there, figured out what was going on, and called 911 a short time after 8 a.m.
When Boise firefighters arrived, they found the boy standing by the 8 foot tall chain link fence with his tongue stuck to the fence pole, Tinsley said.
Firefighters brought a glass of warm water with them and poured it on the pole, and the boys tongue came unstuck almost immediately, Tinsley said.
Tinsley said there were no other kids around when firefighters arrived. The boy didnt say much, and once they determined he was OK, firefighters let him walk to school.

and adults for that matter
Yup, had a new guy in our hunting party make a comment as we were walking out from breakfast before going out for the day...that it was so damn cold he bet his tonque would probably stick to the light pole.
I told him if he tried to hold up our hunting party by doing something stupid like that, the only way he was getting off the pole is if all the other guys had enough coffee to drink back in the restaurant.The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club -

I think he countered a fairly well-known Christmas Story reference with an even more obscure Christmas Story reference. Well played.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -

Zombie Boy got it. When all the kids come back in the classroom (with Flick still outside) Mrs. Shields or wahtever the teacher's name is asks everyone if they've seen Flick. Ralphie's inner monologue says "Flick? Flick who?"If you will it, dude, it is no dream. -

I have since heard of people under extreme duress speaking in strange tongues. I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities and swearing of all kinds was pouring out of me as I screamed..................
