The Choice Is Yours ...

AND YOURS ALONE!

     If you are child of the 90's, you undoubtedly have an allegiance to one of the following uniformed teams  - the Red Jaguars, the Blue Barracudas, the Green Monkeys, the Orange Iguanas, the Purple Parrots, or the Silver Snakes ... and it is without question that you have sat around wondering why contestants on Legends of the Hidden Temple simply could not get that silver monkey together when it was three damn pieces ... 

     And, yesterday, marked the 20th anniversary of the premiere of that legendary show!

     How's that for a Look how old you've gotten!

     So, with that, here are 5 reasons why Legends was so damn legendary!

Legendary Reasons

1) Kirk's Jean Shirt --- I am almost positive the man still wears it until this day ... or sleeps in it.

2) Temple Guards --- Any child who viewed an episode of Legends certainly had a nightmare or two at some point in their life about a temple guard jumping out of their closet and wrapping their crazy arms around them and possibly stopping them from winning a brand new, shiny dirt bike!

3) Olmec's Bad Ass Voice --- This one needs no explaining. When that giant talking rock began speaking, people shut their mouths ... and listened to the damn legends ... because Olmec commanded the damn room.

(This guy - Dee Bradley Baker - is the voice of Olmec, by the way).

4) The Silver Monkey --- No one really ever understood why none of the kids could get that silver monkey together when it was only three pieces ... but apparently it was bigger and heavier than anyone ever thought. Who knew?

5) Pendants Of Life --- We all knew that earning those pendants was the only way to progress through that game, and I'm sure there was some behind the scenes shenanigans between some of those kids where they tried to trade their pendants away for a few dollars ... or to get to second base with someone on the Orange Iguanas ... because, let's be honest, that team always had the hottest team members.
