During the planning stages for Dyngus Day 1998, word got out that some members of the Clan felt that the King should step down for the day due to his foolish acts during previous years and act as the court jester. The King (being paranoid as most good kings are...) thought that this was an attempted coup, thus forcing the Duke to explain the logic of the situation.
The King, not willing to let sleeping dogs lie, (or was that just lie there and take it?), spouted off his feelings on the matter.

In the end, all worked out well as the Clan members pretty much forgot the whole thing, and for once, the King behaved in a manner befitting his title.
