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.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. 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.

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.

Well, Applebee's should know better.
Chin up, my guy. Don’t be sad that Applebee’s All You Can Eat Riblets, Boneless Wings, and Chicken Tenders plus their signature fries and Cole
Slaw for only $15.99 offer has ended, be happy because it happened.
They thought no one had ever tried that before. Normally, it's the eat 90% of the food, whine and complain, get it comped, leave, then come back next week. That doesn't work anymore now. My son used to be on the management team at a restaurant in Flowood. They tried that multiple times with him. Flowood P.D. would be called and told them 2 options...pay the bill or take a ride to jail.
Glad they charged for the ones who were eating and called police. These folks should be ashamed.
Give them an understanding and literacy test before letting them in any restaurant in your area. Another reason for obesity, all you and your friends can eat for $15.99.
In technical fairness, if they shared the standard initial serving, they kinda have a point. If not, well, as the manager's parent above mentioned, you can get charged and pay the bill or you can get charged and $15.99 plus tax (I doubt a tip was, um, ever on the table) will seem like a real bargain.
Anyone like to bet what they left as a tip? Wait staff dreads waiting on these pieces of shit when they walk in the door because they know they will get run to death, get complaints about the food, try to get it comped and leave zero tip. Oh , but don’t call it “culture” or the liberals will go nuts defending these low lifes.
Mama always said,”Stupid is as Stupid does.”
They know better but are trying to run game on the restaurant. Where was this
I bet that they don't pay their water bill either.
a few yes ago i was in a waffle house when a group of six came in and piled into a booth'
the waitress took six orders and the food came out shortly.
the group of six each ate about half and then the leader of the pack called over the manager and complained about ever bodies food.
the waitress came took it all away and brought out six new dishes, presumably cooked the way they wanted.
the group proceeded to eat about half of the food that had been sent back and then called the manager back and complained yet again saying ''we not gonna pay for this''
the manager just gave in and told them to go.
id bet dollers to stale donuts that group had pulled that scam a hundred times.
That officer was very patient is all I can say. Her behavior was horrible. Talking like that in front of her children geez. Lock her up.
Probably shouldn't give the criminals the pay up or go to jail choice. Have the victim choose.
This type of behavior is the reason Bonefish in Madison closed. They got tired of the bulls@“t. My son was a manager there. When this type of behavior became the norm, especially on Wednesday nights, he got the heck out.
Sadly restaurants have to price the riffraff out. I had dinner at Koestler Prime tonight, paid a lot but no incidents. Also there is a dress code which is enforced.
The patch in the bottom right corner says, "Portage Police." Could have been anywhere in Mississippi, though...
"Flowood P.D. would be called and told them 2 options...pay the bill or take a ride to jail." It's wasn't their first rodeo in Flowood.
Bonefish was packed and had great food and great service for 15 or 20 years as I recall. Then it dwindled down until they closed.
Portage, Indiana, just east of Gary.
When she says to the officer "Imma be honest" I thought she was fixin to confess. /s
@ 7:14
This is a routine scene at half shell Madison. It’s quite shocking the patrons that restaurant gets and last week there were about 10 women like this in video loud swearing to server demanded a manager remove gratuity. Young white guy walks over apologizes 3 times wiped off gratuity from the large groups bill & gave the table the dessert on house for being so upset
Collect money up front
This is one of several reasons I avoid Half Shell.
Behold the reparations mentality.
I wish I could post that little video of Brian from Family Guy just saying "Well, well, well" in different scenes. This is sadly just expected behavior. I was in the service industry circa 2008 for a few years. Nothing has changed, sadly. And our manager would move a mountain just to not be called "racist" or "hater", leaving us on the floor working for less than peanuts because of it. God forbid you tried to put a gratuity on a group of 10+.
Was in a popular Renaissance restaurant for lunch the other day while eight "patrons" were loudly and obnoxiously celebrating Mardi Gras. At lunch, now. Manager was asked several times to deal with them but didn't have the balls. The restaurant literally cleared out rather than have a pleasant lunch spoiled. Welcome to Mississippi.
Zea’s? I no longer go there for that reason.
Yup. Went there a year ago for lunch. Everyone dressed poorly, dudes wearing hats, and of course they all had their speaker phones cranked up as they yapped away or watched videos. Black lady I was with called it ghetto.
Truth is, the food at this Zeas is not as good as the other ones. Too far from corporate for proper supervision, IMO. They don't cook the ribs as long so they are tougher. Down in Mandeville they fall off the bone. The food doesn't taste as good either.
I like the hummus but once a restaurant starts the downward slide to ghetto, that's it for me.
Char better watch out.
"Char better watch out."
Three words: Chockwad Anturd Lambada
And rumor is he even has Haa-vid cred, so I'd say the, um, Char bar is pretty much on the ground as far as who they'll serve...
TONIGHT! FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Nick-O-Ass Fuentes and Kanye...Ye...whateverthefuck...West Present - A SPECIAL SCREENING of Blazing Saddles!
Admission is a $50,000 contribution to the defense fund.
"They said you was hung..."
"Naw, according to Strom Thurmond they don't do that until after the fair trial..."
On the topic of restaurants - especially in the south - these places have got to start enforcing a dress code and a speaker phone rule. It is simply the only way the business will survive. They can either step on the toes of the ghetto crowd or force the regulars with money to go elsewhere. It is their call. And no - you shouldn't have to be dressed nice to eat Mama Hamil's, but there is ZERO excuse for Half Shell to not have a dress code. Absolutely no skin-tight clothing, no hats, no t shirts, no athletic wear. They can either adapt or die.
"...there is ZERO excuse for Half Shell to not have a dress code. Absolutely no skin-tight clothing..."
Ah, yes, Half Shell, Flowood edition. Right up there with the French Laundry, Galatoire's, Alinea, Per Se, and other fine dining establishments across the always-has-been-great US of A.
As to the skin-tight thing, generally, yes. But the hallmark of an open mind is the willingness to allow for reasonable exceptions. I can think of a whole list of ladies with whom I could successfully dine if they were in skin-tight clothing, starting of course with my wife. Or really, to be fully truthful, even no clothing at all.
GOOD LORD, that dress is MAGNIFICENT on you, my dear! The floor, however, is looking rather shabby. Shall we see if it can make the poor thing look a bit better?
This is what killed Hops up on 55
I think I’m psychic. I knew everything that was going to be in the video before I even clicked on it. Im getting good at this.
