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. 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.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

Glad to see a new business taking up a vacant building, but I'm still not understanding why BB&B closed down. I need items for my bed, bath and home more than I need books.
Someone once said on here that bookstores are dead...
Always good to see a bookstore doing business.
@ 10:40 AM,
I've lived here for 25 years and , trust me, people around here need to read books far worse than they need a bunch of cheap Chinese bedspreads and candles.
So the question is:
Will Barnes & Noble find new customers or will it have the same number of customers and more overhead?
I suspect anyone in Flowood that likes to read and frequent B&N already makes the relatively short hop to Ridgeland.
@10:40, BB&B filed bankruptcy and liquidated all its stores earlier this year. Overstock.com bought the brand name, which it now operates under as an online-only retailer.
@11:23am - Word.
Barnes and Nobles website sells books about topics that Amazon won’t sell. For that reason I give them my business.
If nothing else it provides a nice place to drink coffee that isn't a drive through or tiny space that is hard to get in and out of.
12:23pm, give us two books or subject matters that Amazon won't sell, but B&N will.
to quote Chris Rock....Grand Opening...Grand Closing
Yes. They will sell books about coffee tables and bed linens.
That bad news for Impression Books right down the road on Hwy 25 next to the Rankin County Tax collector office.
BooksaMillion couldn’t make it at Dogwood. Maybe B&N can?
@6:30 AM
Do you mean Borders?
Because that one only closed when the corporation went bankrupt. Just like Bed Bath & Beyond.
Borders was a victim of becoming less focused on books and more focused on toys, games, and CD/DVDs at a time when more of that media was going online.
Never a BAM in Rankin. Ever. Borders Corp went bankrupt. Had nothing to do with location. Never adapted to the Kindle and ereaders. 2008 recession did them in. Loved the book collection. Probably the best one among retailers in the state. When cds were a thing, someone at that store had great taste in jazz because the jazz CD offering was pretty damn good.
Ted Nugent once signed books at that Borders store.
Bring back Ted.
B&N has a new CEO who is focusing on running branches like "local bookstores".
I prefer "The Book Rack" myself.
The B&N on East County Line Road was much nicer than the Renaissance version. Liked how the coffee shop was in the center on a higher level. Also was brighter and more open than it is now.
Yeah, I read that interview with the CEO. I think he gets it. Wants to give local managers more say in designing stores and in making other decisions.
What could have been. When the iPads and Kindles first started rolling out, B&N had the Nook. At the time it was the only or one of the few tablets that could run Android. Problem is, B&N wanted to keep only its books, B&N products, and kids stuff on there. No play store apps at first. If B&N had made a real effort to start with a true Android tablet, it could have owned that side of the tablet market.
