Be ready to throw down in Frisco

NEW YORK (AFP) - Members of a close-harmony group from Yale University are recovering after being ambushed and beaten up while on tour in California, according to local reports.

Members of the a cappella Baker's Dozen were performing at a party in San Francisco at the new year when their rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" apparently sparked taunts and threats from fellow partygoers.

As a resident of San Francisco I would like to apologize for the behavior of my fellow San Franciscians! I am so sorry we could not put more of these losers in the hospital. Sure, they may very well be the people operating on me when I need a liver transplant but you would think a Yale education would wise these virgins up, because everyone knows if you go walking the mean streets of Frisco singing anything other than “I Wanna Sex You Up” or “Constant Craving” you are going to get a beat down by some very angry dudes in mock turtlenecks. Trust me I know…one night after a few too many Zima’s I was singing “Quit Playing Games with my Heart” and talking crazy about how the Backstreet Boys were way more talented than N’Sync when I ran into a gang of street thugs in plaid sweater vests and low rise jeans; when I came to I was covered in lip gloss, glitter, and claw marks. To this day I shiver whenever I hear Justin Timberlake's voice.
