Mantastic Op-Ed Piece
Tom Selleck Is Most Definitely Mantastic, by Chris Gollaher
I must tell you I'm shocked-- no, stunned-- to see on the admittedly-hilarious "Mantastic" site that there is even some question as to Mr. Selleck's suitability to be considered Mantastic? WHAT?!? Dude, this guy re-invented Mantastic cool in the 80's. He single-handedly brought the 'stache back into style, outlawed since the early seventies. And we're not talking some weak-ass porn 'stache here-- this was the real deal. He could hide a sandwich in there, man! Now, that alone is Mantastic, but pile onto that the hirsuteness of the man, who did not give in to any sissy-boy body-shaving "manscaping" nonsense, and you've got 80's Mantasticness defined. Sure, there may have been a fall from Mantastic grace with the bordering-on-chickflickish "Friends" appearance (sans 'stache, no less), but that must be considered in context with Magnum. Dude was named after a gun, man! Dude capped Ivan, who may or may not have seen the sunrise, in cold blood!! On top of that, he wore a Detroit Tigers hat. C'mon, man, you don't get more Mantastic that Detroit "Kick Your Ass And Take Your Lunch Money" Motor-effing-City, man. (OK, maybe Pittsburgh, but Bill Cowher's got Mantastic covered over there.)
Man. Next you'll be saying Sean Connery ain't Mantastic. You see that guy's 'stache in Zardoz? Forgetaboutit.

The contest that's gripping the world!

I was with you right up until "Zardoz". nothing Mantastic about ass-high leather boots and a red jock-strap.
