Inter-office dating: You’re kidding, right?

Posted on by Eric Brooks

I just finished reading MSN’s 5 Reasons Not To Date Your Co-Worker

First off, you have to be OUT OF YOUR MIND to date a co-worker. It’s one thing to fantasize and drool over them, or even take the temp or intern while she’s bent over the copy machine when no one’s in the room (that’s okay, we all do that every once in a while.).

But getting in a serious relationship with someone you work with is a suicide mission. Simple and plain. Of course I can name two very successful relationships that I know of in real life…

…but let’s not cloud the issues, and ruin a perfectly good rant with facts, ok?

Murdering cranky neighbors now legal in Galveston

Durst not guilty in neighbor’s murder

I knew something was up when the jurors were taking too long to deliberate.

Sure he admitted to killing Morris Black, and chopping up his body in a blind panic…

Obviously this was a case of a very cocky prosecutor’s office, who was sure they were getting him on 1st degree murder and didn’t bother charging him with anything else.

Johnny Cochran, Robert Shapiro and O.J. Simpson were unavailable for comment at the time of this post.

However, with the strange disappearance of his wife in 1982, and being a suspect of two murders in California… I somehow don’t think we’ll be hearing the last of Robert Durst.

God, I hope he doesn’t move to the Poconos.
I sleep with one eye open as it is.

Dewey beats Marlins in the World Series!!!

Posted on by Eric Brooks

World Series 100th Anniversary Damn.

Was my prediction off (just a little), or what?

Of course I’ve been hearing rumours all week that the series was fixed, the Marlins would take it, and now they can go to the city of Miami and get their own stadium.

Nah.

I choose to believe that the Marlins were hungry. They’re a superior team that was seriously underestimated FROM the word “go”. And they deserved this.

Congratulations Marlins & Marlins fans!

How YOU doin’?

World Series 100th AnniversaryGoodbye to the Rocket
Man, this is definitely the MOST INTENSE World Series I’ve ever seen. It was cool to see Roger Clemens end his last pitch with a strikeout (woulda been nicer if the Yankees had won, buuut…).

I can’t say anything bad about the Marlins. They are one truly ass-kicking team this year. But I can question what’s up with the umpires over there? They called a Marlin “out” yesterday, when he was clearly safe at first… then vice versa for the Yankees (*genuflects*)…

    Dial "D" for "Durst"

    He kinda looks like "Mr. Roper" in this pic, doesn't he?
    Murder defendant Robert Durst has a light moment during a break in his trial in Galveston, Texas, Monday, Sept. 22, 2003. Durst is accused of killing his neighbor Morris Black, then dismembering the body and throwing body pieces INTO Galveston Bay in September 2001. (AP Photo/LM Otero)

    I’ve been getting a lot of search engine activity on “ROBERT DURST” lately. Of course it’s no small wonder as it’s front page news in NYC, PA and Texas. For the loose stragglers on the web, let me get you up to speed:

    • The Case of Robert Durst – Galveston Daily News
    • Attorneys: Durst Killed Out of Fear – Associated Press
    • All about millionaire murderer Robert Durst – Crime Library

    Readers Digest version: After his wife’s disappearance, Millionaire New York Real Estate heir Robert Durst flees the unwanted media attention, posing himself as a mute elderly woman. Becomes a suspect as neighbor Morris Black’s body parts are found floating in Galveston Bay. After jumping bail, Durst is arrested for shoplifting in Pennsylvania six weeks later.

    Matt Birkbeck: A deadly ecret A Deadly Secret: The strange disappearance of Kathie Durst – By Matt Birkbeck – Former Pocono Record Columnist untangles this intriguing tale for People Magazine. It takes place 20 years before Black’s murder, and I recommend the book highly for some insight to Robert Durst and what started it all… It’s also been uncovered on the site that more murders in Northern California is being investigated with ties to Durst. The plot sickens.

    … and I’m not saying all this and plugging the book just because I was part of the design team who put the site together for Matt.

    I’m proud to be a part of it all.

    Uhm, I meant the web project, not the murders… you knew that’s what I meant, right?
