Reese’s Puffs

Reese's Puffs

These Puffs may be “made with real Reese’s peanut butter”, but you can’t really tell from the taste. They’re good but not very peanut-buttery. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are better and, if that’s an unfair comparison, so is Peanut Butter Crunch; a similar cereal without the bits of chocolate.

video review : UFC 319

If not for MVP being controlled on the ground in the final round of his bout with Jared Cannonier; a flashy KO seemed near after knocking him down in the first two; every UFC 319 win would be a noteworthy one. Tim Elliott gets a surprise victory over Kai Asakura. Carlos Prates and Lerone Murphy deliver stunning back-to-back first-round spinning-back-elbow knockouts. Khamzat Chimaev dominates Dricus Du Plessis.

That last bit is somewhat of a head-scratcher; not because Chimaev starts the fight with his relentless wrestling as expected but that Dricus Du Plessis has no answer for it over the course of five rounds. I thought he’d find a way to win; he said he would and there is indeed a brief Silva/Sonnen-like moment near the end; but it’s as if, as Daniel Cormier suggests, his gameplan was to exhaust Chimaev, which never happens.

audio review : a Mathematics compilation : Black Samson [ The Bastard Swordsman ]

audio review : a Mathematics compilation : Black Samson [ The Bastard Swordsman ]

The cover art suggests this is a Blaxploitation movie “starring” Mathematics; he produces the music for every track; but it’s also a Wu-Tang compilation of sorts. Every member is featured. It could almost be their new album. The best songs are the first three; Mandingo, Roar Of The Lion and Claudine. The plot starts to go astray from there.
