Hugh Hefner, the twice-married founder of Playboy, is taking the plunge again.

Hefner, 84, said on Saturday in a posting on Twitter that he and his girlfriend Crystal Harris, 24, got engaged on Friday

"is taking the plunge again."

Once every six weeks whether he needs it or not.

That is the most absolutely gross photo I have seen in many a moon. That old coot was butt ugly in the 60’s and 70’s. He now just looks mummified.

Poster boy for Dirty Old Men everywhere!

MIlton Berle once said it was like shooting pool with a rope.

[skeeter]

They have so much in common! For example, she uses an iPad, and he uses...well, a very absorbent kind of pad.

She's dreaming about a new BMW, Hef's dreaming about a BM.

[Oztrich Boy]

Has he considered that in only six years she’ll be 30?

[rbg81]

Yup. But how many 84 years olds could snag a 24 year old? It might be for the $$, but (from what I read) Hefner is broke. So who has the last laugh?

[Riodacat]

I can’t decide which one of them is more pathetic. Him for trying to cling onto his long past youth or her for having to settle for an ancient coot who could easily be her great grandfather...

[DesertRhino]

I guess everyone wants him to get an old woman in her 60s or 70s. Can’t a guy have some fun? The truth is, most women do the same thing, marry for money. Usually it’s just on a much smaller scale.

Watch how many marriages go south the minute his fortunes change, he loses his job, his business fails, etc. Good for Hef.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

This girl obviously has her gag reflex under control.

[DesertRhino]

How about the ones who have no possible interest, who are stamping their feet about it? You do know he doesn’t care what we think,,,right?

[DesertRhino]

Hef has a daughter, she must be wayyyyy older than her step-mother!(snicker)

[bannie]

I was thinkin'...getting close to FOUR TIMES her age!

HAAHAAA!

Somebody's been watching Harold and Maude!

[Sprite518]

Priceless comment...

[Oztrich Boy]

Hef has a daughter, she must be wayyyyy older than her step-mother!(snicker)

She's 58, old enough to be her step-mother's grandmother!

[Emmett McCarthy]

Guys his age don’t use Viagra for the sex part. They use it to stop pissing on their shoes.

[bannie]

For the girl, I guess it’s like winning a beauty contest—prizes and all?

For the old fool, I guess he thinks he makes him look virile? Maybe guys see it that way; but to this old lady (old enough to be his later daughter), he just looks pathetic and desperate.

No, guys...I’m not jealous. Just shaking-my-head amused by this silly fellow’s failure to grow.

[stockpirate]

I’d hit it twice.

[scrabblehack]

I guess this is a March-December romance?

[bannie]

haha...if it’s EARLY March and December 31st!

I can just see them chatting about their common interests: Music, movies, historical events such as, “where were you when Pearl Harbor was hit?”
