Anyone remember the game Mash from grade school?

Man, this brought back a lot of memories

I was just thinking about this silly game that used to get played when I was a child called MASH, which stands for Mansion/Apartment/Shack/House. Basically, it was this little folded game(I never really understood how the folding was done. I mean, they were a work of origami as far as I was concerned), which you had a little list and by using the numbers inside, you'd figure out who you would end up with, where you'd live, what you'd drive, what you'd do for a living, how many kids you'd have and what kind of house you would own.

I tried it out again today... and apparently I am going to have 3 children by my wife Katherine Heigl(I used the movie 100 Girls for my choices), I will drive a red Shelby Cobra, I would work as a screenwriter, own a mansion and live in LA. Not bad... not bad at all.. a little unrealistic for my current starting point here, but it is a nice set of goals to try to get to...

All in all, playing M.A.S.H again was a pleasant trip down memory lane... why don't you try it out too and post your results.

Oh, yes! I remember this one!! We did it on paper and not with the origami thingy - which by the way, I still know how to make. I'm going to marry my husband Chris (whew!), drive a purple PT Cruiser, have 6 kids...sheez, where will they all sit, live in a mansion in Germany where I'll be a counselor. Better start those German lessons.

Thanks for the blast from the past.

Yay! I totally remember this game! We used to play it all the time when I was little . . . the way we usually did it, was to draw a line down the paper, and one in the middle so that there were four sections, and then we would use our age as the number of "passes through" until we had marked out all but one in each category.

Like this:

M A S H
Escalade I my husband
Chevy Trailblazer I David Duchovny
Hummer I George Eads
____________25_____________
Hawaii I 2
Texas I 3
New York I 4
I

I'd be living in a mansion in Texas, driving my 4 bratty kids to soccer practice in my Escalade while my husband, the gorgeous George Eads from CSI, is pretending to pull a dead body out of a dumpster. Eh . . . I could take or leave it.

Fun game, neat memories, history.

D'oh! I can't get it to line up right . . . pretend like it looks like it's divided into 4 sections, OK?

yeah, getting things to line up... that is a tough thing to do with proportional typefaces....

Good choices both of you

ok, I live in a house with Natalie Portman, drive a red 2004 Hummer H2, have 27 kids, live in Antarctica, and am president....

Given all the other results, I could deal with living in Antarctica

HAHA! who could forget MASH?!?! My brother and myself used to entertain eachother for hours with this game. We'd even add more silly categories like underwear color or person you'd cheat on your significant other with...lol...the good ole days!
