I Triple-Dog Dare You:

I Triple-Dog Dare You: Indiana Boy Gets Tongue Stuck on Light Pole

HAMMOND, Ind. — In a scene straight out of the movie "A Christmas Story," a 10-year-old Hammond boy got his tongue stuck to a metal light pole.

Police say the unidentified fourth-grader was able to tell them that a friend dared him to lick the pole Wednesday night. Temperatures in Hammond were around 10 degrees at the time.

By the time an ambulance arrived, the boy was able to yank his tongue off the frozen pole.

Police say ambulance personnel explained to the boy's mother how to care for his bleeding tongue.

The 1983 movie is set in a fictional city based on Hammond, the hometown of author Jean Shepherd.

I was arrested uncountable (hundreds) times at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). I am also writing a book “The Shundahai Network: A Decade of Resistance”.

This is a record of Corbin’s non-stop fight against radioactivity and his attempts to have the traditional lands returned to the Newe people(after it had been cleaned up) under the Treaty of Ruby Valley 1863 and the people who helped him know as The Shundahai Network.

Shundahai, gregor

What I discover on my Journey through Vipassana mediation & how I managed to get to India and the KUMBH MELA TOUR ( in January of 2007) with 200 million people in attendance,my PTSD and my crowd avoidance issues.

Varanast, (Benares), one 0f the oldest cities in the world and the holiest of all Hindu cities. Its narrow streets are lined with hundreds of temples honoring Hindu deities, and hundreds of pilgrims crowd the ghat stairways leading to the Holy River Ganges.

The changes it makes of my life's perspective of reality, as it exists in my head of my life's journey, with emphasis on daily life in India . Spiritual mediation, some nuclear weapons issues and some humor in content.
