Jackson Jambalaya

Imagine profiting from traveling the nation and cultivating some of the worst stereotypes about the people who live where you grew up.

You can't get much better than Jerry Clower's stories.

This is all part of the Mayor’s master plans. After this latest sh** show, no other companies will submit a bid leaving Richards DS to charge what ever they choose. This will make the kickback even larger.

“Imagine profiting from traveling the nation and cultivating some of the worst stereotypes about the people who live where you grew up.”

Lighten up, Francis.

We should all start burning our trash in the streets. Go full Mad Max / Escape from L.A.

Antar is one of many,many elected officials around U.S. whose goals are to first enrich themselves and second to take down the fundamental structures that made our country such a wonderful place to live over the last 73 years. They are simply crooked collectivists (known in history as socialists, communists, Kemer Rouge, Peolple's Republics, National Socialists, etc.). Tear down, interrupt, change history, and destroy truth. Garbage is a small sideline but critical. More of the same everywhere. It is in our face, waiting to see if people do anything about it.

Stereotypes Hell, I went to a rat killing up in Yazoo City last week.

@ 1:10 - Imagine BEING the stereotypical rat...

Mr. Clower appears to be the Mayor's idea of a Northeast Jackson resident.

@1:10,

Have you ever watched a stand up show by comedians of ANY ETHNICITY? Thats what THEY DO!!

Imagine being so self-conscious, that you roll up in the fetal position, every time you think someone thinks negative of you. Quit worrying about what others think. You will be much happier.

"Stereotypes Hell, I went to a rat killing up in Yazoo City last week."

Damn - by the time I heard about it the tickets were sold out :-(

I was stuck in an departure lounge at he Atlanta airport for about 4 hours one time, when Nelson Mandella came there for something, and they closed the airport departures as a security measure. One of the other unfortunates waiting for our flight to Jackson was Jerry Clower, who was a total butthole the entire time we were stuck there. He must have harassed the agent at our counter, and her boss over the phone three or four times about them not knowing when our flight would leave.

He quickly informed them that he was "The number one traveler on Delta Airlines and G-- D--n it. they needed to take care of him. I heard more cussing and gutter language from Jerry than I believe I have ever heard from any airline passenger before or since.

Maybe I could have understood how PO'ed he was that night if it had been Delta's fault, maybe if one of their planes has plowed into the ground with 350 soles on board, but they had absolutely no say in when they would be able to put our plane back into the air to get Jerry back to Yazoo City.

His shtick about Marcell Ledbetter and other rednecks he knew was pretty funny at times (knock him down John, cause one of us has got to et some relief), but Jerry was not a nice man. My understanding is that he got banned from Yazoo City Basketball games for his inability to keep his gutter filled mouth shut during games.

Everyone has a relative from Yazoo City. That shouldn't be too hard to verify.

Imagine a girlfriend who's not imaginary.

I bet his pappy is proud of his son

And yet Fondren gains new restaurants in spite of all the mismanagement and graft…..

Jackson is resilient for sure

Bravo KF !

We need more "Jay -ree" to make many of us smile.

Funny and well delivered story. When Lil Choke curses us with his plague of rats because he won't use idle garbage fees for 20 convenient dumpsters, he'll get us a plague of cotton-mouths right behind.

Pharaoh let my people go get another mayor!

@3:25, yeah, imagine that; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVQFHy6mM5A

Jackson's garbage is stinking up south Madison County this afternoon. I wish someone would arrest all these thugs running Jackson.

I once sat in a friends back yard in the 4th Ward of Houston with him and shot rats off the power lines with an air rifle. The power lines were like rat highways from house to house.

We had fun with it, but I believe that demonstrates a much worse stereotype than Jerry Clower's stories about rat killin's.

@1:10

Rat killing is a good thing. Living in third world conditions that breeds rats is not. Where you from anyway ?

@ 3:20 - I can't figure out if you're complaining about Mr. Clower's behavior or saluting him.

Just think...Had it not been for him capturing your attention, you'd have been sitting there watching hundreds of weird-ass people with funny shit on their heads, rolling their luggage to and fro.

Maybe you'd rather have had John Candy and Steve Martin at the ticket counter.

@3:20, I think you're lying.

3:20 PM, decades back, I knew someone from Yazoo City, whose parents were supposedly close friends of the Clowers. (They were definitely of the same social class)

This guy used to tell a story about when some celebrities were visiting the Clowers. The guy's mother cooked (according to him) an elaborate feast, because Jerry said he was bringing the celebs to dinner at her house. Clower and the celebs never showed-up, and when their would-be hostess finally called to see where they were, Jerry was completely unapologetic - basically treating the woman like dirt.

Jerry Clower was funny, but he was not a nice person. And yes, I knew him.

10:42 - To recap your post - you knew someone who had parents who were said to be friends with one or more of Mr. Clowers parents, who said somebody said somebody was reportedly cooking a feast...

Getoutahere!

A friend once told me a good friend of her's had a daughter who was a stewardess. The subject of the post was on her flight and well, he was reported to be an ass the whole time. How much of an ass? Well, mama somehow got in touch with him and chewed him out. He was very humble and apologetic when that happened. One reason I allowed these comments. I'd heard some of this before.
