thomas wilhelm's spirit flower

For the first time in nearly 80 years, NYBG has a corpse flower on display! Also known as the titan-arum, Amorphophallus titanum last bloomed here in 1939, and our current specimen looks just about ready to unfurl. These unpredictable plants have a brief but vivid blooming period of just 24–36 hours, and that's after 10 years of careful tending by our horticulturists. We expect the plant to live up to its name in the next few days with a vibrant color and fragrance that should make clear why it's called the corpse flower. Head to nybg.org to learn more about this upcoming botanical spectacle!

thomas wilhelm's spirit animal

the titan arum, nicknamed the "corpse flower", is huge, and it STINKS. it also only blooms every few years, and one's going to town in the united states botanic garden in DC right now.

did you see?

last night ted kennedy dragged his corpse out of the grave to deliver a mitt romney smackdown.

the internet is buzzing about some sort of Drake / Aaliyah collaboration

well, as much as you can collaborate with a dead girl i mean.

some people say that he is going to executive produce a new Aaliyah album, some people say that he is going to feature her vocals on a new single, some people say that Drake is obsessed with her. He already has her face tattooed on his back, and has sampled her music in his track unforgettable.

dig her up. you know the rest.

good luck drizzy.

I made my first spotify playlist!  Come on over and listen to Nordic Tracks, a tastefully crafted assortment of artisanal music petifores from those ice covered tall and blonde countries.  Special thanks to Kiki for helping me remember so many different artists.

You know, I heard joe paterno picked up nordic tracking once he put on a wig and stopped covering up child rape.

where's the corpse?!

spotted. joe paterno, leaving a whole foods in san bernadino, california yesterday afternoon.

on his way home from teaching a course in conversational italian, the former penn state football coach stopped to pick up a few groceries. this photo was snapped of joe pa, in disguise (note the tell-tale wig). indisputable evidence!

Check the TAPES!

Listening to Whitney Houston's Million Dollar Bill allllll day, thanks to Kylie, made me think of this:



So where are those receipts Diane? And you call yourself a journalist.

the joe paterno conspiracy

good luck proving he's dead. look at this professional news article, in which he was reported to be wearing a wig on his deathbed. a wig? or a disguise.

all i'm saying is, where's the corpse?
