Defining custom actions in Selenium

Question

I have a test case of Selenium that enters dates into a date selector consisting of three drop-down lists (year, month and day).

select validity_Y label=2008
select validity_M label=08
select validity_D label=08

This part is repeated many times throughout the test case. I would like to reduce it by specifying my custom action "selectValidity" so that I have less redundancy, something like

selectValidity 2008,08,08

What is the best (easiest, cleanest) way to add macros or routines to a test file?
