    Boy, that sounds a lot like North East Iowa as well. I sure know that I have done my fair share of chicken dancing and I have stuck my tongue to a metal pole in January back in third grade- talk about embarassing- the whole roof of my tongue was stuck to that pole after my brother gently removed my head from it.
