I Triple Dog Dare YA! A CHRISTMAS PADDLE!

THE BEST movie EVER!

Yes, it really was cold. Yes, it really was a flagpole. And, no, you shouldn’t try the trick at home. So lets do the next best thing! Go paddling and enjoy a quiet "Christmas Story" time on the water.

The story of the famous tongue-stuck-to-the-frozen-flagpole scene from A Christmas Story!

In a movie filled with oft-referenced moments — the leg lamp, the “You’ll shoot your eye out!” taunt, the pink bunny outfit — the flagpole scene just might reign supreme. It’s a spot-on distillation of schoolyard politics, an example of how things get out of hand quickly and painfully: Flick, on the triple-dog dare of another of Ralphie’s friends, a character named Schwartz (played by R.D. Robb), sticks his tongue to the school’s icy flagpole.
