For once-just this once- it won't be Chokaway's fault.

If its brown, flush it down. If its yellow, let it mellow. Or wade out into the water and let it go, either way. Sorry the last part didn't rhyme, cause I can't make it every time.

how many people at the rez are brushing their teeth?

What is the deal with water and the Metro Jackson area?

Felder Rushing would tell those Rez folks that watering your lawn every other day is 6 times too many every 2 weeks. Without rain lawns need to be watered deeply only once every 2 weeks, if that.

Thorough watering once a week has kept my Augustine thick and green all through this hot drought. Every other day is excessive.

at 9:45 AM - You're not trying hard enough.

"wade out into the flow and let it go"
"wade out into the weeds and take a pee"
"wade out into the current and pass urine"

Thank you, thank you, ... I'll be here all week. ;)

Can we go ahead and start planning the annual celebration of this? Got a few scholars that would come.

Thank you so much 10:26. Was worried about the sleep I was going to lose over that.

That's right folks. Need to keep the Pearl with some flow to get that raw boo-boo going on it's trip to the coast.

All of my neighbors are watering their lawns. I’m not. I’m glad I haven’t had to mow mine in a month. I just do a bit of weed eating. I am certain it will burst back to life as soon as we have a few days of rain.

'Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth'...

Reminds me of the requirement to carry a bucket in your john boat with a LABEL affixed to it stating it's for TRASH. In case you get 'pulled over' you can assure the officer that you're not littering.

More of General Sigman's madness on parade. When will this clown retire from his cushy state-government PERS job?

reservoir regulations prohibit removing water out of the lake, yet every home located waterfront has a pump pulling water out of the lake and into a lawn sprinkler system.
this regulation is not enforced by the PRVWSD.

that why all water front properties have nice green lawns even during a period of prolonged drought.

the PRVWSD and their bozo police force are run right out of a chapter of alice in wonderland.

I wonder how many labels that say "trash" have become dislodged from wet buckets and thus, become a self fulfilling prophecy?

Anonymous said...

My favorite Sigman overreach is how he makes his Reservoir "Police" give you tickets for having your life jackets in a compartment. They think you have to have them on deck blowing around when the law clearly states otherwise over a 16' boat. The have gotten the name "Can't hackits pulling you over for life jackets". The "trash" bucket is comical. My livewell is my trash bucket. Their next move is to shut down the fishing below the spillway. They are incrementally moving that direction.

Don Drane said...

1:48...I carefully stenciled my label onto a white bucket in black paint. I know how picky General Sigman is.

Couple other suggestions to save water and time:
Pee in the shower.
Brush your teeth while you eat.

One flush per day per household-

Whenever John Sigman is mentioned, you can expect a Don Drane comment. Hahahaha. They must be old drinking buddies.

Same guy that shut the river and reservoir down from fishermen during covid but can't control one sandbar full of rednecks.

As a leasehold payer, I appreciate Don giving Sigman any and all the hell he so richly deserves.

Don Drane said...

3:42 - Wrong. I may the only one around these parts with the balls to attach my name to a General Sigman post. The guy is a disgrace to public employees and a horrible manager for our local area boating/fishing past-time. For some reason, he's got a burr under his saddle for anybody enjoying themselves on the state-owned Reservoir.

I had no idea he has LEO writing tickets for 'stowed' life jackets. The law requires that they be 'on board'. He doesn't get to write the law.

What we have here...Is the G.Gordon Liddy little-man syndrome.

reservoir regs prohibit drawing water out of the lake.

however every waterfront home has a water pump drawing water out of the lake and into a sprinkler system .

that's why the waterfront homes always have nice green lawns during a prolonged drought.

the regulations are unenforced.

Don Drane aint wrong bout Sigman

Like, what? If the rez-idents use too much then Jackson won’t have any water?

Hol' up said...

Anyone else notice the small red sign with white lettering on the chain link fence entrance to the city of Jackson's little water intake structure with the historical big hole in the roof on the spillway? It looks like the reservoir put that there to let the traveling public know "this ain't ours, this is Chowke's building"!

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.
