Re: Mimicking movie, boys end up with bleeding tongues
Two fourth-grade boys mimicking a scene from the movie "A Christmas Story" wound up with their tongues stuck to a frozen flagpole.
Gavin Dempsey and James Alexander were serving on flag duty at Jackson Elementary School Friday morning, with the job of raising and lowering the school's flags. They decided to see if their tongues really would stick to the cold metal....
Billie Dempsey, Gavin's mom, said a nurse called them to tell them the boys' tongues were bleeding.
"The nurse asked them, 'OK, who double-dog dared who?"' Billie Dempsey said, a reference to a phrase that a character in the movie used to dare another child to stick his tongue to the pole.

It's triple dog dare, you schmuck.

Re: Mimicking movie, boys end up with bleeding tongues
Ouch!! I always wondered if anyone would have actually tried this.
One time my lip got stuck to a spoon when I was living on my own, I went to eat ice cream out of the box in the freezer and I guess the spoon got really damn cold and my lip was wet and it stuck to it. Now did I use hot water to get it off, no because I am a schmuck and ripped it off. Needless to say it bleed.

I've done that with a spoon before, you kinda just panic don't you, instead of being sensible!
