If you weren't born in 1984-1989, you probably won't understand this post

I found the most awesome Facebook group ever. It's titled "I HATE when kids suck at putting together the shrine of the silver monkey." If you grew up in the 90's, you know what this is in reference to. Everyone my age, including myself, was obsessed with the Nickelodeon game show Legends of the Hidden Temple. Everyone knew the Blue Barracudas were the best and the Purple Parrots were losers, duh! And Olmec...he was a G, no one f'd with Olmec.

The whole point of the game was to win as many team challenges as you could in the hopes of being the last team standing, which would in turn mean, you get a chance to enter the temple. Should you retrieve the artifact* in one of the rooms in under 3:00 minutes, then you get to go to Space Camp! However, beware of the temple guards because should you get caught without a pendant, you die! (Well, you don't die, but you can't continue, and then it's up to your partner to finish the course).

The temple consisted of 10-12 different rooms that required you to complete some sort of task** to open the door to get to the next room. One of the rooms was called "The Shrine of the Silver Monkey," and all it needed you to do was retrieve three pieces of the silver monnkey on the shelves and put it together. It really wasn't that hard, but some kids truly sucked at it. And that's what this group was about. (tip: read the description in the group, it captures exactly how I felt when the kids couldn't accomplish the simple task).

Oh, how I wish this show was still on. It's amazing. This and GUTS. Oh, and Salute Your Shorts. And Hey Dude! None of this Hannah Montana/Lizzie McGuire crap. It's seriously crap. Our shows were waaayyy better. No competition. I grew up in the 90's, and I'm damn proud of it.

*Artifact as in some made up historical prop that is speculated to exist, but you can tell that it was made out of materials you can buy from Michaels (look up: Ghengis Khan's helmet)

**Tasks could be (but not limited to) the aforementioned assembly of the silver monkey, pressing down tongues on gargoyles to see which one opened the door, spinning a sundial in the observatory, and falling into a deep dark pit and guessing which of the doors would open to get out (temple guards usually hid in here and it was hilarious!)
