    Default M-A-S-H

    Remember this little game? Today on the phone with my oldest girl, she MASHed me, and here are my results:

    I'm gonna be a stay at home mom with 3 kids, married to my good friend John and driving a black Ford Explorer Hybrid and we will live in a house!!

    I use to place this game a ridiculous amount of times as a kid. That and the game where you fold a piece of paper so that it fits your thumbs and forefingers.

    I remember loving this game sooo much. I would replay using the same names/jobs whatever and practice my little swirl so I would get the number to get the perfect life. You know, mansion/perfect guy/perfect car/perfect job.

    When I was little I created C-H-A-M-P-S instead (condo, house, apartment, penthouse, shack). Then I just made it C-H-A-M-P; no way am I going to live in a Shack.

    I'm not sure if anyone else came up with it and I don't know how much it caught on.

    Oh, and I still play it every so often.

    ^I never saw that. But it did always blow my mind that 8-year-olds across the nation played the same silly games. Especially since the games weren't mass-produced or sold like Monopoly. It was just something we wrote on paper. Weird.

    For M-A-S-H, you have your friend pick 5 names of the opposite sex (or whoever you're attracted to), 5 car, 5 colors (for the car), and 5 numbers (for how many children you want) and 5 occupations. Then in the middle of the paper, you draw a swirl until they tell you to stop. You then count the lines in the swirl. Then you use that number to count around the lists and eliminate whatever item you land on, until there is only one item in each category. You start with M-A-S-H (which stands for Mansion/Apartment/Shack/House and is one of the categories) at the top of the paper and count around the list until each category has only one item.

    It's just a way to predict the future.

    I tried to get my bf to do it, and he told me I need a good anti-psychotic.

    Man, what kind of fun would we have if we had a giant SW sleepover?! Wine, MASH, Lush baths probably...

    Don't forget Light As A Feather/Stiff As A Board, Truth or Dare, and I'm sure some of the ladies would love to partake in some Spin The Bottle or Seven Minutes In Heaven...and we could have a pillow fight!!!

    ....and do each other's make up and hair and paint our nails! I love sleepovers! It's been awhile. Of course now we can all buy our own alcohol instead of stealing it from mom and dad's liquor cabinet. And it won't be the nasty stuff parents had in there. Like Johnny Walker or Wild Turkey!

    LOL It reminds me of the South Pask episode where the boys were desperate to find out the secrets of the girls' powerful 'oracle of knowledge device' that could see the future...and it was just the MASH game.
