FOOD FIGHT!!!

Downtown Jackson Trash blog and Chip Matthews square off in the comments section. Enjoy.

My take on this whole deal is the friction is inevitable when you have bars that are not so nice next to upscale residential development. Having the Locker Room next to the King Edward probably is not the best idea in the world. The Dock faced a similar problem once when it allowed bands to play on the deck- at night- and this was when it stayed open until the weeeeee hours of the night. The residents in the Breakers raised hell about it and the Dock took the nighttime music inside. Same type of problem with a criminal element added to it.

What you call inevitable friction is more appropriately categorized as a lack of common sense. Only a matter of time before a conventioneer from out of town is harmed by the lawlessness spawned in those "businesses". When that happens, and it WILL happen, Harvey, Ben and the other reflexive mouthpieces will go all reactionary but not a one of them will be able to say they weren't warned. Common sense says you fix it now.

Why are you taunting me?

I hate these people. How do they think cities in the south (and everywhere ON EARTH) survive? 5-Points is awesome. It survives because a few cool people live nearby, a few rich people live nearby and an ass ton of rednecks with new money, old money and no money come to party. Downtown Memphis is this fight times a million. Downtown Little Rock PURPOSEFULLY makes an effort to have something for everybody. New Orleans is the playground for Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida necks. So is Pensacola. What the hell? I WANT YOUR MONEY. I WANT YOU TO COME PARTY AND GO HOME AND SAY SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME! Why? Because there aren’t enough stick-up-their-ass bozos to support anything by themselves. We need necks and black people to have stuff for ourselves. Think about yourself for just a damn second! No, it shouldn’t be dangerous. No, it shouldn’t even be that uncomfortable. But what did these guys think when they rented on south capitol?

Looked up Wendy Ramage though… I don’t care what any blog commenter says, Downtown needs more of that.

I was following you, 4:11, until your synopsis of the pig. Lost me there, bud. You exposed yo' seff.

She presents herself as a whore. May be the kindest, sweetest gal in the world, but she presents herself as a whore.

"...a conventioneer harmed" in Jackson? Say it ain't so!

Remember a few years back when the visiting senior engineer from Japan was shot in the gut outside his hotel on Beasley? That made the seedy motel behind Pizza Hut in Canton look desirable.

Jacktown do have a way of making welcome those who venture in.

Meanwhile, Condaloo Green have presented a new tape segment to WLBT worded as follows, "Anyone having knowledge of these crime at this particular point in time are axe to call the local Po Po". Rather than her having to get dressed at all hours of the day and night, every day and night, WLBT will just play this tape during each news cast.

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.

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. 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.
