Reports are the panhandler on the corner started playing Yackity Sax when the fight/chase scene broke out…

Less than 10 words in at that.
Excuse me, but why wasn’t the flag thief shot? Why didn’t this story escalate to gun violence? An exchange of bullets with at least two bystanders killed–one of whom was an honors student heading to Yale–WTF went wrong? Who are these dilettantes?

While reading the story I couldn’t decide if I heard Yakety Sax or dueling Banjos
and here I thought I was a terrible person - now I can blame it on the panhandler!

Well, me three, you can’t take it seriously when the flag dude and the actors in the haunted house, presumably in costume like Frankenstein and the Wolfman and so forth, are all duking it out. For incidental music your third option is the Benny Hill theme.

I thought the Benny Hill theme = Yackity Sax…or was there another one too?

Oops, you’re absolutely right. And here I thought I knew something about silliness. Pobody’s perfect.

How about some faux-ragtime like “Kitten on the Keys”?

It bothers me that the anti-flag folks resorted to fighting the haunted house actors… Sounds like there were some innocent victims.
Haha…that one sounds like a theme from Mario 2 or something hahaha. Sigh, it’s hard being a big, loud, crass irish dude who shamelessly likes the kitteh meme…

That’s what I heard too, and c’mon, you’d almost have to…
Perhaps - but the actors would have had claws and long teeth etc.
