Lookie there. At least he’s aware of the masking for COVID.

And interrupted a good game of solitaire.

Boy I bet that video of a solitaire game is going to go over well with the employers.

Thought the Tater said no more masks.

Fashionable bank robber.

2:21 PM is not "approximately." Approximately would be 2:30 PM or 2:15 PM or even 2:20 PM.

Can’t get any attention in the drive thru, but tellers can play solitaire? That’s why I went to BankPLUS long time ago.

Dayum! Just as she was about to play that nine of hearts!

He just stole the sunglasses too. The plastic that holds the tag is still there. I really missed my calling as a detective.

Well if Trustmark let him walk in there wearing a turban, big sunglasses, and a mask I say they chock that one up as an L.

A real teller would have been playing GTA V.

i noticed solitare on the screen too. Maybe the teller was on break?

I don't see a play for the 9 of hearts, but the 3 of clubs can go uptown.

Oh...and, Jane later said that the part of Solitaire limited her career -- even though it broke her onto the international stage. She was OK in Somewhere in Time, but other than her constant paycheck with Dr. Quinn, I'm not sure what she expected from the rest of the crap she "starred" in...

What the hell do you mean by "if Trustmark let him walk in there..."? If they had challenged him, the ACLU would have had two floors of the Hilton rented out by noon Tuesday. And Rukia's Goon Squad would have all the Office Depot poster-board bought up before sundown.

I go to this Trustmark branch regularly - the robber was lucky to find a teller to rob - most call in sick on Mondays.

I never have an issue getting a MyTeller at the ATM.
That MyTeller was a brilliant move by Trustmark.

Trustmark Bank manager used to routinely great me by mae when I entered followed by a command to remove my eponymously named business hat I would be wearing.

When are ski masks and the combination of multiple articles of clothing that hide your identity going to be made illegal in Mississippi?

I'm glad no one was injured during the robbery.

But the little bank teller's solitaire game on her puter'... reminded me of what I've seen with more than a few Employment Security WIN Job center staff.

In the employee handbook, Trustmark may allow their tellers to play solitaire as long as they have a bank robber standing in front of them.

Are we sure this isn’t a woman? At first glance this person looks like a woman to me - especially with the small feet, shoe type and shoulder pads.

Anonymous said...

Her hair is in a turban to hide HER hairdo and that vehicle - not trying to be judgmental, but I’d think it to be a woman’s over a man’s. Just my conspiracy theories going wild .🥸

Was the robber white or black? We only noticed the description was a male.

Damnit Kanye! I thought we agreed you were going to stay in the limo?

Sorry, but gender identification is not allowed. Besides, it could've changed before, during, or after the robbery. Please use the appropriate pronoun.

11:36 and 11:56
If you blow up the pic I think you can see a beard behind the mask.

Geez, chill out. I have witnessed a USDJ playing solitaire during multiple trials. all day long. Is that a crime?

Anonymous said...

@ 11:21 AM - It should be. If your ass was on the line, would you want the USDJ playing PC games instead of paying attention and doing his/her job?

Clinton (Baby Jackson) is lost. Mayor needs to resign, maybe they can get someone with a brain back again.

11:48, the judge has already seated a jury, made decisions on admission of evidence, and heard openings. HE does not decide your fate; the jury does. He's babysitting lawyers and juries, and he can play a game if he wants. He's bored stiff and he IS doing his job at this stage.

There have been real world examples of a Canadian court where a member of a 3 judge panel was "caught" playing solitaire. The Breivik killer case (the world's worst mass bombing/killing) judge played solitaire, in the boredom. And none of these cases were overturned. Not even remotely relevant.

Hell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Chief Justice, was fond of the game. It's a neural exercise and harmless during a long eight hour day of testimony he does not need to memorize. Get real.

Geezers grasping at their pearls over a simple human diversion. Cringe. Do you think some of them doodle? OMG.

2:54 PM - I'm not a "geezer" and it doesn't make it right in my eyes. He/She controls the courtroom. I don't give a fuck what has happened in Canada or in the past. Acceptance of failure is not your friend, nor is it something to be followed.

Anonymous said...

The comments at 2:54 are about as insane as suggesting umpires and referees should be allowed to play on their cell phones during games. After all, hell, they've flipped the coin and shook some hands...Play ball! Let the coaches handle it!

Is that the great swami?

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.

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.
