Not a Meme

[geminigirl]

There's a meme going around right now that I've seen a few times on my friend's list. It's a meme that involves the question "Did you play MASH?"

As yet, no one's said "yes" and it seems to be causing great confusion.

I can only assume that the question refers to the game that I remember from my childhood, which involved a piece of paper, and the word MASH at the top, where MASH stood for "Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House" and it was supposed to determine things like how many children you would have, what your abode would be (as the title indicates) and who you would marry and more.

Goodness, I've never even heard of that.

Now that you have said that it makes ever so much sense to me. I remember doing that in 4th or 5 th grade. I totally didn't make that connection. Nor have I done the meme.

Same here. I read people's responses referring to the TV show and my mind just didn't head in that direction, though I did play it.

I can't recall anything else about the game, but I do recall that I played it, yep, and I'm sure I'd recognize the other details of it if smeone came up with them.

Maybe it was a tri-state thing.

I played MASH all the time. Oh man, the fun!

Oh yes, I remember MASH. A few girlriends and I would play it once each in the morning before school. Our whole day could be ruined, or made good by the results of that morning game!

I actually played that relatively recently, with a little kid.
