Boy Licks Metal Pole, Gets Tongue Stuck
Indiana Boy Says He Was Dared By Friend

 

[Bullrog]

No, it was the dreaded triple-dog dare that did him in.

 

[PopeDirkBenedict]

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't pouring lukewarm water on the tongue remove it from the metal pole?

 

[expendable]

Now I know that some of you put Flick up to this, but he has refused to say who. But those who did it know their blame, and I'm sure that the guilt you must feel would be far worse than any punishment you might receive.

No. All the copy editors have been outsourced.

Copy editors, what about fact checkers? Wasn't Flick triple dog dared?

Copy editors, what about fact checkers? Wasn't Flick triple dog dared?

Yep.
Schwartz committed a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the double-dog dare and going right for the throat with the triple-dog dare!

That's not just a small mistake. That's bloody embarrassing.

San Francisco too.

I thought this was going to be about his "adult" career in film.

Are you saying that TV stations with websites don't have someone to check copy for things like, you know, accuracy, spelling and grammar?
