Hugh Hefner, 84 is marrying former Playmate Crystal Harris, 24. The picture of the happy couple looks more like a granddad and his great granddaughter than lovers. [http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/40810232/ns/today-entertainment/](http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/40810232/ns/today-entertainment/) I’m wondering if the joke is on Hef this time? Maybe she’s in it for the money? much like Anna Nicole Smith marrying that oil tycoon, J. Howard Marshall, in his late eighties. Sure hope Hef has a strong heart and lots of Viagra. 😉 ---

I bet Holly’s pissed! Didn’t she try to get him to marry her for the longest time? She still wins, though- he’s so gross. ---

More like a great-grandfather than a grandfather, even. He’ll probably die with a smile on his face, though. She’ll be smiling too. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Sure hope Hef has a strong heart and lots of Viagra. 😉 Hefner has made no secret of the fact that he’s a Viagra user. And considered the use he’s getting out of it, I’m surprised they don’t have him as a spokesman. ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > What happened to the triplets? Or was it just three assorted busty blonds? His most recent trio of girlfriends was Harris and two identical twins. Harris was the designated No. 1 girlfriend, while the other two were, uh, backups or something. Then the twins decided that they had better things to do, and Hef decided not to fill their positions. I guess the economy has hit everyone hard, huh? I clicked on that photo link and, you know, Hef kind of has a Freddy Krueger complexion going there. ---

I watched a documentary about Hef a couple of months ago. It pointed out that none of his exes have anything bad to say about him. They know what he is like, and the situation they are getting into, and he does as well. They are getting fame (of a sort) out of it, and he is getting sex from young, beautiful women. It seems like a reasonably fair trade. Edit: My wife and I were seeing a different film the night it premiered in Chicago, and I was coming out if the bathroom, and was made to wait for a moment while Hef and his bodyguards passed by about two feet away. He looks pretty damn good for his age. ---

Well, by the time a dude gets to his mid 80’s he starts thinking of finally settling down 😃 And if when I’m 84 I’m landing 24-year-olds I’ll be past caring if they’re in it for my money or anyone’s grossed out, won’t I? 😛 ---

Mother of the Bride: “Oh, I’m so happy! My baby is going to marry a man who has been objectifying women since before I was born!! Do you think it can be a white wedding? I think they probably went all the way already, but a girl only has one first wedding…” 😃 ---

After what I’ve read about his nightly routine with the group of girlfriends, and how mechanical and joyless the group sex was… just, eww. Really, eww. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/granddad-hef-and-his-baby-bride-to-be/565475.md?page=2)
