If Obama got his tongue stuck to a cold flagpole, the procedure is different: he should squirt some of the lighter fluid he brought with him on the pole, then use the matches he also brought along.

You keep bresthing onto your tongue or somebody brings slightly cooled water.

Or you grow new tastebuds

... a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple-dare-you

[Responsibility2nd]

If you have a pal around who can procure a vessel of warm (not hot!) liquid, he can pour it on the pole to thaw things out.

Pal or no pal. He will NOT procure any warm (not hot!) liquid.

I'll stay stuck to said frozen metal pole before I'll allow THAT to happen.

We have the dvd, there’s bonus material on it. They drilled a hole in the pole, made a little vacuum suction thing, that’s how the kid’s tongue is stuck.

If I have a tongue on my pole I’m inclined to leave it there.

That’s classic.

I’ve been there done that but it was on the monkey bars in grade school when the outside temperature was close to zero. I did it on my own just because I was such a curious sort and had to see what would happen. I don’t remember how I got unstuck but it couldn’t have been very traumatic else I would have remembered the unsticking part. I think I may have just continued to breathe out on the pipe until it warmed up enough to thaw my tongue loose. This all occurred in North Dakota of all places and there was one thing I was familiar with was cold weather.

You could wrap your hands around the pole/your tongue to warm up that section of the pole too.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Your school had a flog pole?

Gee, that is strict!

[nesnah]

Is this a Kamala Harris metaphor thread or something?

[Deplorable American1776]

Unless it’s for a Red Ryder.
