Flick? Who's Flick?

Robert e-mails to report that while Hugh Hewitt may be in London, his spirit is alive and well in Chesterton, Indiana:

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.

"I decided to try it because I thought all of the TV shows were lies, but turns out I was wrong," Gavin said.


Are you kidding? Stick my tongue to that stupid pole? That's dumb!

Atomizer Sez:
There's no shame in trying the old "tongue on the flagpole" trick. I actually did it twice in one day when I was in grade school. Why twice, you might ask? Because it grossed everybody out so much the first time I ripped my tongue off the frozen metal that I just had to do it again.

Explains a lot, I imagine.
