  1. The death of Yammy, the Yamking.

    This is Yammy.

    Yam King

    He is a Yam Tater. He is, in fact, the King of the Yam Taters.

    A YamKing, if you will.

    Only the king is allowed to wear the nose.

    Clown King

    Schokie didn’t trust the YamKing.

    Schokie doesn't trust that yamtater...

    Yammy shared with us our holiday cheer.

    Sometimes a little too much cheer.

    You have to watch him...

    But, like all seasonal kings, Yammy’s time on Earth was brief.

    One dark winter night, the Banaaratots were dug.

    Bananarots!

    The Delicatas sliced.

    And Yammy was sacrificed to the cast iron gods.

    Yammy Strata

    We ate his flesh by candlelight.

    A candlelight dinner...

    And he presided over the feast.

    Farewell to the Yamking
