funny things about "a Christmas story" that you don't hear about on the TNT interviews:

the character of Flick was played by Scott Schwartz. he later went into the adult film biz. guess he went from sticking his tongue to light poles to sticking it...heh...yeah.

Yano Anaya (the wicked little Grover Dill) had three film roles ever. one in "a Christmas story," one in something called "the blue iguana" and...the paperboy in "better off dead." ergo, he rules.
