The death of Yammy, the Yamking.

December 21, 2007 by ChiaLynn

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.

YamWreath

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.

NovySan is clever

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

    Freakin’ awsome for more reasons than I can list right now. I love the myth of yammy. I may have to make a veggie creature now too, just to come up with a cool adventure for it. My 9 yr old should love this project. Thanks for the idea. I’ll keep you posted on our progress and post the adventure on my blog.

    Peace.
