He wanted to emulate Flick who succumbs to a dare and sticks his tongue to a frozen pole in A Christmas Story. When the character tries to pull away, he quickly discovers his tongue is stuck.
Spencer Cline, of Sandwich, Illinois, and his friend Cole thought it was just movie magic, but they learned just how real that old pitfall is, the Aurora Beacon-News reports.
I was just tempted to, he told the Beacon-News. Ive seen the movie A Christmas Story, which kind of inspired me.
When Spencer stuck out his tongue last Tuesday, it instantly adhered to the pole.

You can’t back down from a triple dog dare.
I heard if you do that in the Bloods or Crips you’re in a lot of trouble.

Don’t be surprised if “A Christmas Story” gets banned from TV now.

I tried that when I was 10 yrs old, too. Twice as I recall.I would say that's a dumb thing to do...but I was the kid who stuck his finger in a light socket just to see what would happen.

I rescued a young girl one morning from this predicament one morning.
Her brother dared her to lick the metal stop sign post while they were waiting for the bus.
Luckily I had a warm water bottle with me when I came along.
If I remember right it was around 20 below.

That’s a story that’s gonna stick with the kid for the rest of his life.

Heat it with a torch? LOL All you need to do is pour some water on it and the tongue come right off. LOL

Back in the olden days of metal ice trays we often had this happen to us kids. We learned to run some water over it and get free.

“Whats the aftermath medically...”
Well, you can just yank yourself free and just basically lose the top layer of skin on your tongue and it hurts like hell for a bit.
To: xrmusn
I was going to suggest that for when your tongue is stuck to a pole!
