I TRIPLE DOG DARE YOU!!!!!

Ah yes...memories of the movie "The Christmas Story" are alive and well in Missoula. Remember Flick and his tongue on the flag pole? We just had our own version of Flick. It's bitter cold here,but some of the kids went out for recess...only if they passed inspection as to winter wear. Sure enough, one kid comes running in and says Joey's tongue is stuck to the fence. I grab my water bottle (warm for just such emergencies) and head out to unstick him.

Two squirts and he's a free 4th grader. Then some wise-cracking girl pipes in his face...."I TOLD you it would stick, but did you listen...NO!!!"

I head back in and realize I'm freezing....I'm in my shorts, Badger T-shirt, and its' 13 below zero.

Vikes....that's a classic reply. I'm going to save that and put it on my bulletin board. You almost hit it on the head though.....the kid (Joey) did ask if I was freezing. I said "No. I'm a Packer Fan. We're used to this."
