This week's Heads or Tails theme is HEADS - Direction
The word direction reminds me of one of the most famous signs showing the direction to the hometowns of the staff of the M*A*S*H (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) unit in the television show set in Korea during the 1950's.
After the last filming of M*A*S*H, the signpost was donated to the Smithsonian by 20th Century Fox and was on display with other M*A*S*H props and memorabilia. Currently, the signpost is part of the National Museum of American History.
Go here for more HoT participants.

I used to love that show :) I did not know about the sign, but I'm glad it found a permanent home.
Happy HOT day!
I love it....I LOVED M*A*S*H!!!! [tv...the movie was far and a cry from the TV. B J Hunnicut, mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm!!
Mine's shared. [rofl]
Hands down one of the cultural icons of my childhood! Great post and a great use of the theme :-)
Yeah, that's a good one! Great choice. :)
Now that is a neat choice for today. I don't know why I didn't think of the sign post that looks like that on one of our skiing mountains!! But this is cool.
I love the picture! But dude, my dial up took like 20 minutes to open your page...
Hehe I just posted something about M*A*S*H a couple days ago. And today I was just telling my friend to use that same sign on her HoT direction post. She chose a different picture though. ;-)
Oh, wow! My post is very similar to yours... in fact, my friend Erica over at momsjournal.com suggested I find a pic of the M*A*S*H sign instead of the one I posted. But if you see her blog and read of her family's obsession with M*A*S*H, you'd understand. I'm very happy with my choice. I'll send Erica over here so she can get her fix.

Erm... nevermind. She was here right before me. *feels foolish for not reading all comments in my excitement over seeing this post*
Oh that's awesome! I hadn't ever really noticed that sign post before.
aah...i know that serial :D
Will you visit mine Thanks
I love M*A*S*H...I watch it everyday.
I loved that show and of course remember the sign! It's cool that so many things like this have found a home at the Smithsonian!!!
My hooman mommy loves M*A*S*H! It is still broadcasted (again and again) in our part of the world!
Happy Tuesday!
What a fun ‘take’ on this week’s HoT prompt! Thanks for the mem’ries … I loved MASH!!! I’m playing today at Small Reflections ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Jersey is right - I still love M*A*S*H... it´s broadcasted late at night, that´s why I miss it sometimes.
Happy Tuesday, Linda!
Great picture. I remember watching Mash and seeing the sign post. Great choice for today.
I never really watched that TV show, but that's a neat sign. Never seen that either. Oh where have I been? Living under a rock perhaps, lol. Anyway, nice choice for today's HoT.
I loved that show, still do....a classic. Great pick for this week's HorT theme truly wonderful.
Mine is up @ The Cafe if you are interested in popping by.
Nice post! I love MASH and the sign is wonderful.
We watch M.A.S.H. just about every day. In fact, we just finished watching an episode right before I read this post :-)
There are several spots here in Cape Town on of the mountains where people have put up similar signs.
Very cool.
