Flashback Friday

 The recent sale of the Mayflower triggered memories of this post from April 22, 2019.  

 A  Naked Man Event (NME)  took place Saturday night in front of the Mayflower Cafe.  An adult male stood at the corner of Roach Street and Capitol Street, caddy-corner to the Mayflower Cafe at 6:45 PM, and proceeded to take off his clothes.  The street theatre performance continued as he proceeded to channel his inner Cassius Clay and jump rope off and on for the next 20-30 minutes.

WARNING: POST HAS PARTIAL NUDITY & GRAPHIC PICTURES!







Several people, including the Mayflower Cafe manager and your correspondent, contacted the police.  However, the naked man dressed himself and walked to a neighboring bar, where he stood outside the front door before the police arrived.  Your correspondent pointed him out  and showed them pictures of his attempt to imitate Oh Calcutta.  The officer said they had received several calls about the gentleman in question  and his grotesque behavior.  The police officers talked to him for several minutes before removing him from the scene in an ambulance.

Unfortunately, the police officers and security guard provided more disturbing news.  They said he was dropped off at the bus station by personnel who work at a certain public mental institution in Rankin County that is southeast of the airport.  Such dumping is apparently a regular practice by this facility that is funded by the taxpayers.

Kingfish note: Almost as disturbing was the behavior by another gentleman at the same time - except he was clothed.  A man kept walking up and down the area on both sides of the street.  He became extremely agitated when the police appeared.  He yelled and cursed at them while pulling up plants in front of Parlor Market.  He attempted to stand in front of Mayflower but the security guard made him leave.  The police finally told him to leave the area, which he did.  Several people said he was a new "drop-off" by the mental institution in Rankin County.

Hmm..... maybe we should get around to funding some mental health treatment or providing more beds in this state.  One member of JPD Command said the dropping off of mental patients at the bus station was "wearing out" JPD.

If you want to see the unedited video, click on this link.   It is graphic in nature so don't say you weren't warned.  The police appear at 2:00 or so.   Pixelation would require going through over 2,000 frames.

Dinner, AND a show.

A) I want to see somebody jump rope with his britches around his ankles. Is the circus in town?

B) It won't take but one slap of that rope against the head of his wally-tacker to set him to running a four-minute mile.

C) Dropping someone at the bus station with travel-fare is not a bad form of therapy. Let's assume there was a counseling session, and that a therapy plan was established.

Goals for achievement were set. The first goal was to arrange funds to travel to a city of preference. The second goal was to find a method of travel.

The psych unit provided not only the 'plan' but also helped with achievement of the first and second steps of the 'plan'.

Just one more reason not to go inside the city limits of Jackson.

A few years ago, PETA had a lady downtown that painted herself to look like a cat.

No complaints.

If Jackson officials would start dropoing off the mentally ill types on the streets of Madison or Brandon there would be some real action taken to address this problem.

Blogging about a mentally ill person is sick. You people are disgusting.

4:44 am, just stop. It was a published story about the Mayflower from years ago.

Stuff like this makes me wonder why anyone would buy that location and try to make a business continue

Jackson gets everything it deserves.

How is it legal for the unnamed mental health facility to discharge patients who are obviously in need of continued care by just dropping them off at a bus station?

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.

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.
