Word of Mouth
Reviews, commentary and decent taste that never goes out of style |

In a world ravaged by Pat O'Brien, with his microphone in hand held like a scythe, there comes a new hope. One that's more likely to reference FloJo than J.Lo. One that just might save your pop culture soul.
Hi, my name is Hank Brockett. On this site, you'll find a combination both of archived newspaper thoughts and words delivered straight to cyberspace. The last few years have produced many a memorable moment, and if you typed out this site's long URL you deserve to bask in those moments time and time again. |

I am thinking of breaking free of the Geocities universe and getting my own domain name with a new title. Stay tuned. Do you think www.playbooy.com is taken? |

Jan. 22 - Coming down from the holiday season and trapped indoors with the snow falling steadily, I'm updating the site with all the stuff I've been working on for The MidWeek and Take ONE. That includes music reviews in the form of U2's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, the soundtrack to The Life Aquatic and mini-reviews of recent Christmas songs. As far as TV is concerned, there are reviews of 24, Big Man on Campus, House and Lost. Finally, you might find more techie-related things in the near future here, including a DirecTV / Dish Network DVD comparison. Stay tunes for news/features updates and, someday, my story of coaching powderpuff football this past fall. |

"Who's your housekeeper and what you keep in your house? I've seen Hank's
crib, and it's the flyest in greater DeKalb County, y'all. One more stripper pole
and I'm movin' in."
