Default Okay... Who is the luckiest guy in the world?

But... if you have to state a reason why he is, then he is automatically disqualified. I mean, if you say his name and we don't instantly know why he's the luckiest guy, then obviously he isn't. Got it?

Working at a casino, we come up with all kinds of stuff like this, just to try and unwind and not take it all to seriously.

Alright, my pick is... Ringo Starr. Nuf Ced.

Jimmy- before I even read your post I was about to say Ringo Starr...does that make Pete Best the unluckiest guy in the world?

Didn't Roger Vadim have to put up with Jane Fonda for awhile? There's a cancellation factor I think.

Tough to argue against Hugh Heffner. For as much grief as Ringo Starr gets he really was a top notch world class drummer who could stay on beat with the best of them, but is funny that Lennon and McCartney wrote 'With a little help from my friends' and made Ringo sing it ! The Beatles would not have been the Beatles without him.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Justin Timberlake. Every time I turn around he's bangin' a new super hot chick...For FREE, I might add. That's really my only knock on Hef. He's technically not paying for them, but the chicks aren't really lining up for him, as much as they are the "idea of him", or what he can do for them.

Anyways, JT's roster includes Brittney Spears, Fergie, Jenna Dewan, Alyssa Milano, Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johannson, and currently Jessica Biel. Plus rumored relationships/hookups with Rihanna, Ciara, Madonna, and Janet Jackson. Not to mention, the quality of groupies he's probably had available to him at live performances.

I'm not a fan or anything, but DAMN, dude's gotten ahold of some top-tier caliber women.

I dunno, anyone who has to resort to selling ShapeUps can't be all that lucky.

My vote goes to Matt McConaughey. Heff works way to hard.

Default Surprised...

I thought the obvious answer was Leon Luckey?

If not Leon, then how about just about any modern baseball player blessed with the natural talent to play at the level they do, at what they most obviously love doing and making extreme bank doing so. Derek Jeter seems like a good choice, but just about any of the dedicated athletes in the game would seem to apply.

I am Luckey for many reasons, one of which is my name . I have a great wife and a beautiful (inside and out) daughter. I am not starving and fairly gainfully employed, so I am indeed very lucky.
My vote still goes to Heffner though. How hard can his work be when he just hangs out with beautiful babes all day?
