The Great Zucchini!

Great article about a guy who pulls down $100K/year doing kids' parties. But that's just the beginning. The story has more facets than the Hope diamond. It reads like the sort of story that wins a Pulitzer Prize and then the prize gets taken away later, because it was all made up.

Wow. There is a man that truly needs a handler.
