We here at MojoFiction delivered a sweet Christmas present this holiday season when we presented our son with tickets to an overnight at the Field Museum of Natural History here in Chicago, an event for kids age 6-12 and their guardians. Last Friday we had to deliver on those tickets, which, it never occurred to us, was... Continue Reading →
METRA Train Service Reveals Top-Secret Load-N-Go Program
The executive staff here at MojoFiction accidentally went in to work yesterday, which we take no responsibility for. We would have never made it in if our car hadn't started. Stupid German engineering. Anyway, as many of you know it was bitter cold, so we threw on our swants and figured everything would be okay,... Continue Reading →
How to Survive the Holidays
It’s been a long week since this whole thing began last Tuesday. We haven’t even had time to get to this until today. It all started with the lighting of the Christmas tree in Daley Plaza here in Chicago. They lit it two days before Thanksgiving, leading us to believe that Thanksgiving had been cancelled...

CHICAGO IN A GLASS
Normally, we here at MojoFiction celebrate everything it means to be a guy in today’s “it’s a war on women” world, including (but not limited to), power tools, fatherhood, sports, being a good father while losing to your son at sports, and wondering aloud why the line is so long as Starbuck’s when all we want...

CHICAGO IN AUTUMN = FUN (probably)
Three blog entries for the price of two. 3 for 1 seemed a little generous, don’t you think? As always, we honor all competitor’s coupons, unless their blog is better than ours.

Maybe Alfred Hitchcock Was On To Something…
In completely true-story movie The Birds, the title creatures sit around minding their own business and then, just when you get comfortable, they attack you in droves, causing a lot of screaming and running around and it makes your vision turn black and white. Nowadays, with the threat of mass bird attacks mostly gone, America faces... Continue Reading →
BREAKING NEWS – DON’T GO INTO THE OFFICE (we mean our office, not yours)
Okay, so we here at MojoFiction were going to post a blog entry explaining how we literally unlocked the secret to unlimited, clean automobile fuel, like, just 15 minutes ago, but then we stumbled on a major medical breakthrough that will allow us to live to 162 while looking and feeling like we're 30. But... Continue Reading →
Chicago Bears Try to Go 1-1, End Up 2-0 – After Global Protests, Ruling on the Field Stands
If you live in the Chicagoland area, you know that Chicago is known for having two seasons: winter and taxes. But they also have the Chicago Bears who, though more of a cult than a football franchise, play during the winter and so could probably be lumped in with the winter season which mean we’re not...

Starship Troopers Flies Once More Unto The Breach (A RiffTrax Event Review)
Ah, the wild days of youth, back when MojoFiction was a teenager and found himself presented with the weekend choice of either being social and meeting girls or hanging out with our equally girlfriend-less male friends and watching MST3K (If you don't know what that is, too bad, we're not explaining it). Looking back, MST3K seemed to win out... Continue Reading →
