Befringed and Bewildered? Surviving Orlando's International Fringe Theatre Festivalnew
Dwarfs with flashing tools? Check. Red dildo in the hand of a randy senior citizen? Check. Devil's weed, racial jokes told in blackface, the politics of pee and the mysteries of the clit? Check, all four.

'The Simpsons Ride' is Thrillingnew
About two weeks ago I got word that Universal Studios' highly anticipated successor to their Back to the Future simulator, had quietly soft-opened for "technical rehearsals" in advance of its May 15 grand opening. I headed for the park, dreams of penning the attraction's first published review dancing in my head.

Fueled by Ramennew
I wondered if I could live for 30 days on the food stamp allotment without resorting to Wal-Mart, Hamburger Helper or the drive-through dollar menu. I put $162 in cash in an envelope and started the experiment.

Think You Have What it Takes to Be a Pro Wrestler?new
Spending a week training to be a professional wrestler taught me the sport isn't just smack talk, silly costumes and overly melodramatic plot lines. In fact, it requires discipline and dedication, and more than a little athleticism.

Wanting That Green Glownew
This year I want green gifts. I want items that can help me reduce my impact on the environment. But much like eating vegetarian comes with a higher price tag, so does saving the world.

Screw China!new
The reason I'm going China-free this holiday season is Wal-Mart. The mega-retailer's relentless, cutthroat push to the bottom is killing our economy like a two-pack-a-day habit. Wal-Mart gets approximately 97 percent of the junk they sell from China, so buying there is un-American.
