Ah, Tom Selleck. I first met you when you were going out with Monica in Friends (shut up, those were formative years for me). Later, I delved deeper into your musky waters with Magnum PI. Later still, I think I may have seen you in The West Wing. Or was it Boston Legal? Probably Boston [...]

Hey Y’all,

Let it never be said that Indian Kung-Fu doesn’t rock balls.
