Rez to Fall 4 Feet

When will this occur? I have a boat in a slip at Main Harbor and haven’t heard anything from them.

Guess we'll find out on Monday at the meeting as noted above.

I wish someone would do some aerial photography when they drop the water this much

How will the Rez Police submarine be able to operate in such shallow waters?

Begin a hatchery for Cyrtobagous salviniae - this beetle is your best chance and feeds only on one thing. Shipments of this beetle sell for millions to lakes all around the country. This is our only chance and the hatcheries need lead time.

10:58 - What are the beetles going to eat once the salvo is gone?

Can they swim? ...from plant to plant... then back to shore when food source is gone? On to the gubmit dole.. and register to vote as democrats.

Do the Rez police really have a submarine? I have heard rumor that a ghost train still runs on the railroad at the bottom of the lake.

Admiral Barnett said...

It's not as if they enforce their regulations regarding the parking of boats on residential lease properties anyway.

If PRVWSD plans accordingly, this will give them a great opportunity to repair docks and ramps that are in varying stages of disrepair. Might even raise a sunk motor or two.

Yes, there IS a Reservoir Police Submarine; however, it's at Pascagoula Dry Dock right now. Chief Waggoner is stuck inside and specially-trained welders have been summoned. A relaunch date has not and will not be released as the craft's missions are secret.

The Rez Submarine is a figment. It’s John Sigman’s bariatric chamber misidentified as a submarine.

The beetle only feeds on the salvinia. They often do such a good job they have to be reintroduced. They are very small and the only way you really will notice them is by looking for the tell tale signs of small holes in the leaves from the adults or decaying leaves from the larvae feeding on the roots and vascular system underwater. They have been known to kill 99% of the fern and are more effective in lakes than waterways. They will not survive without the plant but multiply 5-8 times a year. They should be an imperative of Mississippi. Hydroponic trailers can be set up on the shorelines for introduction.

The Sub Is Real! said...

The sub is NOT a figment. It's real. I have photos of the sub on assignment, rented out to that guy who was going to build the hi-rise hotel...back when he was trying to catch cane-pole fishermen poaching his bream where the Dock used to be. In fact he farted in that sub and damned near died. Story was in the Northside Moon.

I'll tell you, though, what IS a 'figment'...all of Sigman's rules and regulations like no boats in yards, upkeep of properties, speeding through neighborhoods and garbage buckets on every boat.

Maybe the Rez Police will now be able to find that patrol car that went missing about 10 years ago.

Everyone talking about the Submarine listen up. This isn't a joke.

9:59 is absolutely correct. The old GM&O railroad has a Ghost Train that can often been seen and heard beneath the waves of the Rez.

If you are out in your boat at night, you will see that light move under the water and hear the noise as the ghost train passes below you.

Here is map of the location of the old GM&O.

There are other other Ghost Trains on the old GM&O in the Metro. One can be seen by Nucor Steel. Also the old GM&O bridge over the Pearl River in Jackson will sometimes make noise during the day of a train passing over it.

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.

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.
