    thats just what he likes to call himself. He thinks its kinda funny. I also think its kinda funny. He's a funny kinda guy. In a serious way. Very serious.


    Jim James in Spanish = Yim Yames

    :):):)

    I thought this was going to be a post saying jim james is no one special, like fancy schmancy. Hadn't heard Yim Yames call himself that.

    I love MMJ but that's just really stupid. Kind of like the lyrics to Highly Suspicious that he thought were funny that are just really fucking dumb.

    Yeah, again, NOT FUNNY.

    And someone who thinks it's funny to call himself Yim Yames is the kind of person that thinks it's totally awesome to speak Spanish to his friends on Cinco de Mayo.

    Exactly. The guy is just a strange bird, and I find him pretty hysterical. For example, when signing autographs apparently he signs his name "Jim James #34". Now the question is why, and will he change his number now that he is going by Yim Yames?

    Hey...don't knock Wes C. Addle, he's done some quality stuff.

    This Yim Yames charactor is kind of a poor man's Jim James if you ask me.
