That person is good for this day.

Because of that person, this day is good.

How would you render "Today is a good day to be That Guy"?

On the model of "Today is a good day to die, it would be {loDvetlh X-meH QaQ jajvam}, but there is no verb X meaning "to be".

Also, can anyone think of a way to get across the idea of "That Guy" better than just {loDvetlh}?
