An underrated Nickelodeon game show, which ran from 1993-1996. Players must complete challenges, based on the historical legend of the day.
Starting off, we have the following teams:
Red Jaguars
Purple Parrots
Blue Barracudas
Green Monkeys
Orange Iguanas
and Silver Snakes.
First, the teams must try to cross a moat. Only four of the six teams will make it to...
the Steps of Knowledge. Teams must correctly answer questions about the legend, and make it down to the bottom step. Two teams will advance to...
the Temple Games. The teams must complete 3 physical challenges, loosely based on the legend of the day, and they earn Pendants of Life for winning. The team with the most pendants, or the winner of the tiebreaker, will go to the bonus round...
Olmec's Temple. Here, the remaining team must negotiate the temple, get the legendary artifact, and get out, within 3 minutes. If they run out of time, or if the second player gets caught by aq temple guard with no pendant, GAME OVER.
If the team succeeds in getting out of the temple, with the artifact, before time is up, they will win a vacation.
All in all, this was a pretty good show, which died long before its time. Nickelodeon could have supported a show like this nowadays, but no.... they just HAVE to be the next Cartoon Network.

I always wanted to be a contestant on "Legends of the Hidden Temple" during its run... but I never could make the trip to Orlando. I just KNEW I could get all the way to the end -- and win the vacation!

Get the Legends of the Hidden Temple mug.1. A strong son-of-a-gun who loads up the shelves with consumer goods, in retail outlets.
2. The name of a long-forgotten 1986 Bally/Sente arcade game, in which you drive the "General Lee" from Florida to California, avoiding cops, and trying not to run out of gas. A very primitive game, by today's standards -- or even the standards of the early 1990s. Not a bad time-killer, though.

Get the Stocker mug.A long-standing manufacturer of motorhomes. In recent years, they've seemed to put out quite a few models that looked like just long, nondescript boxes on wheels.
For many years, "Winnebago" has been used as a synonym for "motorhome" -- regardless of its manufacturer.

Get the Winnebago mug.One of Capcom's often-overlooked NES games I missed out on during my youth, because I was too busy playing their war games, like "Bionic Commando" and "Code Name Viper."
This rather fun video game was loosely based on Windsor McCay's 1905 comic strip "Little Nemo's Adventures in Slumberland." Finally, a game with a historical basis, instead of the product of someone's pipe dream.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master is one of the BEST video games you've never played. It became a real sleeper hit (pardon the pun.)

Get the Little Nemo: The Dream Master mug.A: "Check out that wheelie over there! Ha ha!"
B: *groan* "You know, that could just as easily be you."

Get the wheelie mug.A server-level Internet filtering service used by many public schools, which blocks out adult content, email access, personal webmastering accounts, and anything that is construed to be "fun." It's basically "censorship," any way you look at it.
Unfortunately, access to educational materials is blocked, due to technicalities.
For example, one would be hard-pressed to pull up the text of "Romeo and Juliet," because there is a line that says "Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!"
Of course, Romeo is referring to the heart, and not the female breast, in this sense; but the filtering program does not understand that.

Eventually, students will be presented with a "Bess Can't Go There" screen, whenever they try to access ANYTHING online.

Get the Bess mug.The mark of The Chosen One, from the movie "Kung Pow: Enter the Fist."
Basically, it's Steve Oedekerk's "talking tongue." Even though the movie wasn't all that great, Tonguey made the whole thing worth watching.
