Top Ten Signs You're Obsessed With Magnum PI

#1 Post by SelleckLover »

TOP TEN SIGNS YOU’RE OBSESSED WITH MAGNUM, PI

10. Had to call the suicide prevention line when WGN took MPI reruns off the air.
9. You berate your co-workers with a British accent and yell, “OH
MY GOD!” a lot.
8. You named your 3 children Thomas, Rick and T.C.
7. You once called your wife “Michelle”.
6. You secretly want to be a Hungarian acrobat.
5. You surf the Magnum-Mania website a minimum of 5 times a
day.
4. You drive a black Trans-Am that talks. (Oh, sorry. That’s a sign
you’re obsessed with David Hasslehoff)
3. You have the Freebairn-Smith MPI theme song as a ringtone on
your cell phone.
2. Spend hundreds of hours making numerous Tom Selleck
scrap books and enduring comments from people like: “Wow, you probably have more stuff about him than his own mother!”
1. You no longer get Botox injections so you can still do the
“eyebrow wiggle”.

LOL! Good stuff SelleckLover!

I'll add one. Maybe we can get a Top Twenty.

11. Your lifelong dream is to become a millionaire so you can purchase a Ferrari 308 GTS and the Anderson Estate, of which you will promptly turn the boathouse into a guesthouse, then redesign the interior of the main house to match the indoor sets seen in the show!

12. You have casual sex with complete strangers, then hope that they will either die or simply go away within the next hour or so.

15. You frequently check Ebay motors for an '82 ish Volkswagon Vanagon to paint in the Island Hoppers paint scheme. You find one, bid it up around $5000.00, then bail out.
Here's one for $800

Nice additions to the list golf! I guess we all have the ability to poke fun at ourselves, and that's a good thing.

Thanks, SL!

But I think the No. 1 sign should be checking this site 5-10 times a day to see what anyone else has said on any subject relating to MPI.

What addicts we are!

At least we enjoy each other! :D :wink:

N1095A,

You're TOO kind! Thank you for liking MGI. But to paraphrase Hugh Grant in "Two Weeks Notice": "Now that's silly. Have you MET everyone on the face of the earth?"

Not to detract from your very generous compliment! Thank you again.

:wink: Let's not get too full of ourselves. I did say One of the coolest. Seriously though, MPI is the only TV show that I consider myself passionate about. I almost consider it sacred. To share webspace with someone who loves it as much as I do is an honor. That goes for everyone here as well.
