I hope Elvis is now ok and his tongue is healing!!  Here is a tip for
anyone, fert or hooman, who might ever find him or herself in this awkward
and potentially painful situation.  DON'T PULL!  Pour warm (not hot) water
over the affected appendage.  The reason Elvis got stuck is because the heat
from his little tongue momentarily melted ice particles on the metal that
then refroze, trapping him.  Warm water will remelt the ice and free
whatever happens to be stuck.  :P
