For today’s lost ’80s item, let us all think back to when we were in middle school. Do you remember playing the game, MASH? No, this isn’t a game about the TV show MASH, it is the game that determines the outcome of your life, or so we thought!

The rules for MASH (M {mansion} A {apartment} S {shack} H {house}) are very simple:
  1. Choose five of the following: names, colors, types of cars, number of children, places, and careers.
  2. Draw a spiral on the paper. Count the spiral from top to bottom to get the magic number.
  3. Count through your lists of items using your magic number. Eliminate each item you land on until you are left with one item in each category. Enjoy your future!
The web has several electronic MASH games. Typepad’s online version is really fun. I decided to play along, so here are my results:
“Your husband’s name is Scott and you have 0 children. You’re a Teacher who drives to work every day in a Pink Jeep. It’s truly a wonderful life when you consider the countless romantic nights you have spent with Scott in your shack in Venice.”
How come I always end up in a shack? Oh well, at least I’m driving around Venice in a pink Jeep with a boy named Scott!
