FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

"Were the colossal heads dropped because they wanted to avoid the mess of a Chief Illiniwek controversy? Or was it just hard to get someone dress up as a 20 ton head?"

The Olmecs were an amazing civilization. I could make jokes, but hey, I do that enough.

The Olmecs are the Stan Musial of Precolumbian Mesoamerica.

How can you not mention Legends of the Hidden Temple, hosted by a giant head called Olmec? Oh, because you probably didn't spend most of the 1990s watching Nickelodean. Fair enough.

7 We all deserve a spanking at the shrine of the Silver Monkey! Of course I watched that show with my daughter, b. 1989. I used to make her laugh be imitating the voiceover guy describing the "course". (Seriously, thanks for the happy memory!)
