"A Jackson, Miss., neighborhood has been perplexed by the discovery of bowls of mashed potatoes that turned up in mailboxes, on door steps and on top of cars this week."

The Washington Post reports.
“What does it mean?” local television station WLBT wondered. “And will they strike again?”

The inscrutable tubers appear to have first been discovered by residents of the historic Belhaven neighborhood on Tuesday morning.....

“Mississippi’s most creative individuals have found their way to Greater Belhaven,” notes the American Planning Association. “Among the residents are celebrated writers, artists, and musicians.”...

The most likely explanation, and the least interesting one, is that someone came up with a weird idea for a practical joke....
Of course, it means something. And it's important....



It means... aliens...

(Do the) Mashed Potatoes

The Mashed Potato is a dance move which was a popular dance craze of 1962. The dance move and mashed potato song was first made famous by James Brown in 1959 and used in his concerts regularly.

I thought tampering with mailboxes was a federal offense?

Could be all the guys not allowed to yell mashed potatoes at the Masters.

Mashed potatoes are evil. But if you're going to eat them, I would highly recommend the sausage gravy at Bojangles.

Damn that Trump and those deplorables with their high-carbohydrate diets!! Oh, and their guns and Bibles, too!!

Gird your loins for the masked mashed potatoist!!!!

All that whiteness--and in Mississippi? Haters' taters.

They should be looking for a man dressed all in black. Johnny said he was gonna mess around and June told him he'd make a big fool of yourself.:

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson
See if I care

High carbs means this is a hate crime.

I’ve shed no tear, I’ve breathed no sigh
Where my taters takes their rest
I’ve never knelt upon the sod
That lies upon their grave-y.

They're mashed afar from their lovely bowl
Boiled in a stranger saucepan alone except for salt
And they who say that lowly mound
Repeat the words "Mashed Potatoes"

Mashed potatoes?

"Of course, it means something. And it's important"

It means that the South shall rise again. With the help of the Irish.

It's the new Meals on Wheels. Or maybe Side Dishes on Wheels. But probably not done by a Deplorable, or it would have been Tater Tots.

Trump needs to mispronounce some more words or something.

And they're surprised when something oddball happens? I thought this was the kind of thing that artist did.

(Note that's artists who do real art and not "artists" who just signal. The latter being what the neighborhood association really wanted to move in.)

Better watch out. That stuff is addictive.

The most likely explanation usually is the least interesting one. That's why we love conspiracy theories so much. They're more fun.

Democracy dies while mashed in potatoes.

The Wiggles had a song about hot potatoes and mashed bananas. But not mashed potatoes. I assume mashed bananas are an Australian thing....

On the Murdoch Mystery (set c. 1895) we watched last night, Tesla had invented a giant microwave that someone had turned into a weapon. Constable George suggested people could cook potatoes with them. When Tesla pointed out it would need to be the size of a room, George said one day people could have potato cooking rooms.

When we have these sorts of problems down South it almost always due to outside agitaters from up North.

Stolen shamelessly from a WP commenter.

Some of those commenters have a view of Jackson, Mississippi that is so far disconnected from reality that it might as well be the dark side of Pluto.

First the rhubarb-flavored sour IPA in the store this week.

Now random hooligans leaving wads of congealed mashed potatoes where honest citizens will find them. [shudder]

Truly, we are living in the End Times.
