He told The (Aurora) Beacon-News his inspiration came from where you'd expect: the movie "A Christmas Story," where one friend dares another to put his tongue on a frozen pole.
Spencer, a Sandwich Middle School student, was with a friend. But the friend didn't dare him.

The friend searched for hot water, then called an ambulance. Spencer managed to free his aching tongue in the meantime.
He and his tongue are expected to make a full recovery.
