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.

Mayor Bloviator
Whatchu reckon he's payin' that ex-TV personality?
How can you have a news conference with no one there?
When in doubt, flap the gums.
Put up litter signs to prevent litter? Ha! Litter signs ARE litter!
I'm glad Dr.Muhammad gave an update on the few remaining animals at the zoo.
I was sorry about the Amazon Parrots getting killed by another animal. I was shocked to learn rat shit was found in the feed storage area. But I'm glad to know the prairie dogs had enough sense to stay warm during the recent cold snap.
Speaking of litter signs… how about Jasmine Barnes just randomly placing signs all over intersections and roadways. I like how she left Democrat off the sign in NE Jackson. At least she’s not a complete fool
Those must be Lifer prairie dogs
@4:14 with the number of candidates running for office you ain't seen nothing yet.
It is a shame that you don't find out which candidates truly give so little shit about Jackson until after the election when they never retrieve their campaign detritus, er, signs.
Who really gives a damn?
If the "don't litter" signs are effective how about posting The Ten Commandments around town? That should solve a lot of problems, right?
Lumumba Derangement Syndrome appears to be holding steady, no relief in sight.
Don't Litter
In The Jack, we have whole blighted buildings that are litter. And what of 52M gallons of human sewer seeping into streets and creeks. But a sign might atleast remind not to roll dead bodies out onto roadways or into ditches.
LMBO & SMH @ the same time!!!! What kind of MESS is this just when you did you think he can't move lower, HE DOES! Standing on a wall, in an empty room, waiting to tie a knot on your mayor string, to keep hanging on shouldve been lopped off years ago! Citizens of Jackson, not him, any longer! This man has not been good for Jackson. He likes the puffing up from being mayor, but docents want to do the real work because in running he's bit off way more than he can chew. Step aside Chokwe! Remove your ego.
Side note: I used to adore M.F.Payne! Mother of boys, career stable, then she ups and ties herself to this failure!!!! I couldn't belive it. Well her salary could've boomed, no more weird journalist hours! To me that mov defined her judgement.
@ February 24, 2025 at 8:08 PM - Seek help.
It would be more akin to Stockholm Syndrome as the mayor continues to abuse the citizens he holds captive. The abuse of course coming from his lack of upkeep of necessities, and left field thinking.
Nice Rolex.
@11:59 - no, you’ve got it backwards. The problem isn’t Lumumba or his supporters. It’s the irrational hatred of all things Lumumba no matter the policy. You think all these commenters disagree either Chokwe’s condolences for a fallen officer? No, they hate Chokwe so much that they are unable to judge his actions because they have such an anti Lumumba bias. If this all sounds familiar, you may get the point.
