Throwback Thursday: Meet Dr. Smith

 We could all use a laugh so watch this um maddening (Did I mean to write madness?) video produced by Dr. Arnold Smith 20 years ago. 


 JJ reported on May 1, 2012:

It seems Dr. Smith thought his expensive furniture was stolen. Not just removed from the house mind you, but replaced with exact but cheaper replicas of his furniture so he would not notice the alleged theft. He even claimed the thieves created an identical crack in a replacement piece. He goes to great lengths in the video to point out his furniture was rare and the thieves would have the pieces produced overseas. He called the police and filed an insurance claim as well. He claimed (see deposition below) the thieves took a geo stone, clothes, and even removed the AC vents looking for items to steal. He claims in the video they stole documents of his but not in the usual way. He alleged the thieves would replace the pages between the cover page and last page with other documents so he would not notice the loss. The last page of the documents below is a list of things he alleges were stolen. The last ten minutes of the video are um, interesting to watch.

This is a classic case of alien abduction. In Whitley Streibler’s Communion, he discussed how it appeared as if the ETs had replaced items in their cabin with exact replicas that were near perfect. But that Whitley and his wife could tell the difference because they were just “off” and not right.

Of course the ETs had also messed with the Streiblers’ minds and bodies. And implants were removed from both of their bodies. Whitley Streibler went in to co-host the radio program, Dreamland with Art Bell in the 1990s.

Are we laughing at the mentally challenged? I have a feeling they are laughing at us as well. As in the zoo...who is pointing at whom?

He was at Pine Grove in Hattiesburg last I heard.

Thanks for this throwback.

I had forgotten about that guy.
But I do remember laughing the first time I saw that.

I'll come back and watch the full video again.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this sport model involved
in some kind of bizarre murder plot.

I kind of remember he had planned (or maybe was the intended target)
of an ambush assassination attempt?

I forget the details, but I think it had something to do with his stolen dining room chairs ???

Thank you 5 pm !

I had forgotten the details, but I remember all of that saga now.

Lord have Mercy ... the average Hollywood film producer/writer/director could not have dreamed-up a film like those actual events.

But I'm sure the Coen brothers could have ...

Thanks again !

He’s living in Belhaven with his current wife and his ankle bracelet. Can’t go anywhere near Greenwood, but free to move about otherwise. This from a source very close to the situation.

This is the guy who ordered a hit on Lee Abraham of Greenwood. The man is clearly not mentally well.

Pretty sure Jim Dollarhide and I shot this yrs ago. We used to shoot his commercials.Say what you want the guy helped give extra life to many patients. He invented the term immuneotherapy which now cancer centers tout as new treatment. When we filmed him we were totally caught off guard by his request for us to rim this.

"He invented the term immuneotherapy which now cancer centers tout as new treatment."

Bullshit. I was introduced to Jim Allison back in 1980 (that's 42 years ago for the math-challenged readers out there), and he got the Nobel Prize in Medicine about 4 years ago for discovering/inventing the first successful type of immunotherapy, which he was working on since the early 1980s. He is now at M.D. Anderson in Houston, continuing his research.

Yet another example of how genius and madness are often found together like gold and pyrite.

I had a chair
And now I don't
Used to sit there
Now I won't.

I loved my chair till someone took it
Twas a mystery man, and you can book it.

He came inside in the dead of night
A candlestick, his only light.
He passed up the couch and my favorite stool
I know my chairs, I ain't no fool.

Yes, a thief in the night, he took my chair
And left one like it and that ain't fair.
I may be old and no longer fast
But when I find this man, gonna whup some ass.

I love his last name.

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.

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.
