    You have differnet options like for housing Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House. Then your friend does a big sprial or lines or something until you say to stop. However many there are you count through your options. So if you have 5, you would count 1-mansion, 2-apt, 3-shack, 4-house, 5-mansion. SO you'll live in a mansion. You list names of boys that you like, numbers for how many kids you'll have. Once you go through everything you know what you'll have/do/be when you're older.

    OK- I think I get it, and I can honestly say....I have not played this little game....must not be a Midwest thing? ( at least not in my neck of the Midwest woods)
    Where in the Midwest did you grow up? :happy:

    Okay, I was born in '79! So, the New Kids on the Block just got back together and I totally went to the concert about 3 weeks ago! It was awsome! What does that make me?? Should I have just admitted that? :huh:

    Um, no don't admit that.

    My girl friends and I played Mash constantly. And I was talking to on of my friends last night about this theard and giggling, her daughter mentioned that she plays it all the time.

    Here's how we played. First you make a box, then across the top write MASH across the top. Then on the other 3 sides of the box you draw 4 lines. The player then picks out 4 guys, 4 numbers and 4 cars (this are the catagories we used) and you write those on the lines. Then you would say go and may lines in the center of the box until the player said stop (We did lines, sounds like some of you did swirls or other things). Once they said stop you would count the lines and then go around the box counting and crossing off a choice every time you got to that number. So if you got a 2 you would start at M cross off A. Start at S cross off H. You go around the whole box and cross off in each category. Say you got a 3. you would start at MA cross off S, Start at H and then cross off the second guy. You keep going around the box until there is one left in each category. Then you circle those and that's your future.

    "Wild thing" was on the radio this morning.

    Remember McDonalds' Big Mac, Fillet a Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries, Icey Coke, Thick shake, Sundays, and Apple Pies. Or 2 all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a seseame seed bun.

    I seriously believe that there was no other greater music than in the 80's. In fact, that's 98% of what I still listen to.

    ToTo
    Men At Work
    The Bangles
    and my all time favorite..........................The Cure!!:love:

    Oh the era of one hit wonders and most of the music made no sense at all.:laugh:

    I know. I can't help but to laugh when I see their old stuff.
    If you get a chance, go to YouTube and watch their "2 in the morning live" video. It's such a lovely song. goodsigh.gif

    Bwahahaha! Jonathan? He had it going on? :wink:
    I saw the first show of their current tour (sep 18th) and Jonathan looked so uncoordinated and uncomfortable. I swear if I would have watched him the whole night I would have been bored. lol
    I'm sure he was just fine for your show since he's gotten plenty of practice. Plus he probably knew you were there in the crowd. :flowerforyou:
