What an icon, he was a huge deal even when I was a little kid. His magazine gave me much pleasure at different times, in more ways than one. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Hugh's impact on the sixties and seventies is hard to overstate. Very simply -- he gave sex a good name. My father had a stash in his office, mixed with a bunch of boring science magazines, I and my friends raided many times. Every boy my age could probably tell a similar story. Once I found a Playboy in somebody's trash and it was like finding gold. Hugh was not a perfect man. He built up an empire and then gradually saw it crumble to a small fraction of its all time high. I lost count of how many times he's been married. Still, I'm sure he lived a very happy life and died about as happy as anyone can. I salute you Hugh. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| reno Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 58 Posts: 1384 | Odd timing for me personally. It had been probably a decade (or two) since I had last seen the inside of one of his magazines. Nevertheless I have fond memories, so last week I ordered this 700 page complete collection of centerfolds and Amazon finally delivered it (all 8 lbs. of it) yesterday.  |

Just this week I used him as an example of what a Life Estate is to one of our newer people. The President is a fink. |

I posted this in another thread a couple of years ago. When I was about 10 years old in 1971 I lived in a rural mountainous area near Albuquerque. Our neighbor was in the habit of dumping some of his trash in the woods behind his house. He apparently decided to dispose of his Playboy collection because my friend and I happened upon a huge pile of magazines while out for a hike. They spanned from the late fifties to the current time. They may not have been worth anything, but to a couple of 10 year old boys in 1971 the value was indescribable. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

Looks cool Thinking about heading over to the Pirates den to download this :-) The last thing I downloaded there was the huge MAD magazine compilation book Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| pew Member since: Jan 8, 2013 Threads: 4 Posts: 1232 | I clicked the Amazon link and it said they have some used. No thanks, I don't think "used" is the way to go on this one. |

Good story. I can't imagine being a 12-year-old boy today where you see anything you want for free online. Seems too easy. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
