Trollfest '09
Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

That is going to be one long ass poll.
You are extending Ladd courtesies she does not extend to others. Yourself, for instance.
Gail is included. Read the list. So because Ladd acts like a child does that mean I should?
Of course not but in this crowded of a field, and in light of the qualifications of most on this list, not including a B-lister who's accomplishments don't come close to rising to the level of Businesswoman of the Year wouldn't constitute a questionable omission.
Based on your response if anything it sounds like she is on the list as a token to demonstrate your superiority but not because she is some female local business svengali. Attacking other business people in this community, which she has done repeatedly FOR YEARS, should be an automatic disqualifier.
I'm going to have a second poll of ten finalists. I wouldn't include her as a token but because well, there are only two female owners/publishers in town and that is Karen and Donna so I think they deserve to be included. Nothing more, nothing less.
Connie McKay-Lasik (dentist),
Actually, it's Connie McCaa and she is a LASIK surgeon, not a dentist.
Yeah, you're right. Sorry. Read wrong line and that was about someone else.
More Publishers:
Leigh Reeves (VIP magazine) started it from scratch and sold it to the C-L.
Jennifer Corson (Stages Magazine)
Sold out to CL? Strike. And yes, it will be a long-ass poll but you guys can handle it for a week. Don't go wobbly on me.
Since I complained when you had the poll for the hottest female reporter, I want to compliment you on this one.
How about Glenda Barner (Sugar's Downtown)... took a location that didn't look like a restaurant could survive in and has made it work!
Alyson Swalley and Alice Harrigil (sisters who co-own both Party City franchise locations). They are very community-minded, giving back through cash and in-kind donations, blood drives, etc...
That should be Sugar's Place... sugarsdowntown is their website...
I've lived here all my life and never heard of some of these people and clearly don't see 10 people I would vote for.
How about Paula Coe of Keifers Restaurant?
Fish- how about you ask the ladies to respond in 25 words or less why they deserve the JJ Business woman of the year! That will get to business and cut out the blah blahs. Plus it will help your readers to make informed decisions when casting votes!
Sugar's? Where have I heard that before?
Um, the owner of Liz Henry jewerly is not "Liz Henry." Her name is Christi Garner.
Kingfish or Crawfish?
Christy Jones at Butler Snow.
She is the real deal. Ask around.
I vote for the Dirty Hippie Soap girls, Jessi Long and Amanda Quarles (and their mother, Gwen Long).
Go Barbara Page and her Wonderful Bread Pudding!
Yes, Barbara Page might retired, but her bread pudding is still kicking, as good as ever every Thursday and Sunday at Fannin Mart's new location on Lakeland drive in Flowood.
Been there and love it. Everyone needs to go at least once. Your'll find the taste of home cooked meals, great desserts and their tea wow! is out of this world. Go Barbara Page.
