I don’t know why Stuf has one “f”, but these are marketed as an enhanced version of the original Oreo cookies in that they’re made with Double the creme.
I guess that makes them better; the white stuff is the best part; unless you put them in ice cream, the flavor/texture of which may clash with the extra creme.

6lack comes in too early. I would’ve put his verse after the second chorus, which means Tinashe would have to sing another verse before that second bridge. That’s assuming I could get her to do anything.
“I’m too emotional,” she acknowledges sadly. Her and her beau are at what sounds like the brink of a break-up. Her vocals are strong though; the hook is enhanced by melodic hums; and the beat is Killah.

George is more of a friend than me. I would’ve abandoned Lennie a long time ago. Not only is he annoying, though his kidlike personality does come with an underlining of pitiful innocence, it seems he always manages to get in trouble.
The story begins with the two workmen running from “a bunch of guys with dogs” and guns after Lennie inadvertently assaults a girl in a red dress. What he did is told but not shown, unlike what he does later to the wife of a rancher’s son.
That scene is a major plot twist and one of its two most poignant moments. The other comes at the end. The movie goes on about two minutes too long from there; the final flashback is excessive; but it’s an interesting tale nonetheless.

Werewolves must not be too rare in Beacon Town. When an average high schooler named Scott transforms into one for the first time, seeing himself in the bathroom mirror covered in hair, he seems to know what’s going on. When his peers find out, they aren’t as surprised as you’d expect.
The movie is best during the first half. Once Scott’s secret is out and everybody’s used to seeing him parade around as the Wolf, which vastly improves his basketball skills and makes him the most popular teen in town; at one point, he finally scores with a girl crush; things start to get a little silly.

It’s a spooky concept; a suburban family realizes their house is haunted by evil beings; but the movie is too silly to make it work. Much of the blame goes to Zelda Rubinstein; a small actress who plays a medium.
“Go into the light!” “No, don’t go into the light!” “Okay, I change my mind; go back into the light!” … voices yell over a whirlwind of ghostly confusion; all in a joint effort to get the baby daughter out of the TV.

As cliché as the concept is, there’s always room for another good “love” song. This one has Tinashe falling recklessly for a guy she confessed her feelings to at a park a while back.
“I hope you know I meant every word I said,” she says over an acoustic guitar you might not initially realize is just a loop. Her voice is warm and sweet. Her melodies touch the heart.

I figured Chan Sung Jung would win this, but damn. I thought Frankie Edgar would last longer. To his credit, he did take this fight on short notice. Still Jung almost knocks him out under a minute in. Edgar is tough though, just not tough enough to survive the onslaught of The Korean Zombie in Korea.

The title and cover picture suggest unreleased demos from the past, but most of these songs sound relatively new. That’s partly because Too Short’s an old dog who’s never really been interested in learning new tricks unless those tricks are putting money in his pockets.
It’s pimping from the start; a topic I hope he never stops rapping about, no matter how frowned upon it may be to the sensitive squares of 2019. When he’s not pimping, he’s fucking a “bitch” or getting his dick sucked… or rapping about the history of racism in America.
Information should’ve been left in storage though, along with Whatcha Got; two obvious demos with low-volume vocals. Bancroft, the only song with no hook; the hooks are the worst parts of the album; sounds good. Most of the rest are decent enough for Vault grabs.

Dominick Cruz is right. Tyron Woodley doesn’t seem to be awake here. Not in the sense he needs to be to beat a monster like Kamaru Usman, who almost completely dominates him in this fight.
There’s a vicious striking exchange near the end of the fourth Round, but it’s the constant pressure of Usman’s wrestling that ultimately costs Woodley his Welterweight Championship title.

![Great Value Ice Cream [ Holiday ] : Frozen Hot Chocolate](https://marcellee.com/posts/89856.jpeg)
This ice cream isn’t regular chocolate labeled Hot Chocolate to make more people buy it. It really tastes like hot chocolate, cocoa rather, especially when melted down to gooey lumps as I do when eating ice cream at home.
What rich and delicious hot cocoa it is. A lot of that has to do with the inclusion of caramel, which adds an extra winter-boot-kick of sweetness. There’s also a marshmallow swirl and chocolate chunks added to the mix.

“Edgar Hoover was black; Willie Lynch is a myth,” Nas affirms, “Colombians created crack; the government made stacks.” It’s that first part about Hoover that represents the rapper’s state of mind. He, like too many Americans, is obsessively focused on race and racism, but only the white on black type, which itself seems racist in its exclusions.
To be fair, Sean Combs (Diddy) does suggest equality by commanding all listeners to put their fists in the air, whether they’re “white, black, Latino, Asian, Caucasian…” Hold on; isn’t Caucasian and white the same? In being inclusive though, he contradicts not only himself but the concept of the song, which is supposed to be about “they” and “us”.
The best parts are the hook, though what sounds like a silly falsetto effect added to it takes away from the song’s solemn message, and the beat, which is led by an epic sample from The Hunt For Red October. The worst part of the song, other than Diddy mentioning the year; “We ain’t posing for no pictures in 2018”; is the title, which seems irrelevant.

These Goldfish, which swim all the way from Pepperidge Farm in Connecticut, are described by the company’s promo as “really, really yummy”. That’s far from the truth by my taste buds, but they’re okay enough to munch as a snack.
