You can’t show weakness in front of your brother. You just can’t. Sibling rivalry never ends. Ever. You must always win. And then text everyone in the family telling them about your win. MojoFiction: “Look, Mom, I finished my pizza first.” Mom: “You’re 40.” MojoFiction: “…What’s your point?” Mom: “Stop texting me. And when are... Continue Reading →
So, there it is, the top of the ninth inning at Wrigley Field and the Cubs are down to the New York Yankees by something like three thousand runs (okay, it was five). As a Cubs fan, the night can’t get any better, right? The Cubs already blew the lead the previous day in the... Continue Reading →
Legend tells of a great ring of immense power and dark beauty that calls out its siren song to unsuspecting victims. The reach of this powerful object knows no bounds, instilling in men an unrelenting compulsion to possess it, regardless of cost (but it should cost). This compulsion usually arrives around the same time a... Continue Reading →
Is there anything better than youth baseball? If you said "A Jim Beam and Coke and the next season of Game of Thrones," stop reading right now and go home and rethink your life. Game of Thrones is clearly a wine-drinker's show because it's the only time your wife will let you break out that... Continue Reading →
I've been slowly reading Life Itself for months, one chapter at a time, usually late in the evening. I didn't take my time because the book is boring or confusing, or because it isn't compelling. I took my time because this book demands it. This trip down someone else's memory lane isn't for the trivia nut. It's... Continue Reading →
Ah, September. That magical time of year when Christmas decorations go up in department stores across America! The good folks at MojoFiction feel bad for atheists. They already don’t like Christmas, but now, thanks to certain stores that will remain nameless (for instance, we won’t say Macy’s), they have to deal with it starting in... Continue Reading →
We here at MojoFiction have been away for a while. We did not intend to be. But back in June we had just made a huge scientific discovery using our rarely-mentioned PhD in neuroscience from one of the nation's top schools that operates only on the internet and, for some reason, only accepts tuition payments...

Okay, we're a little late to this article. In our defense, baseball got in the way and, since we're a guy, you are required to accept "baseball" as a valid excuse from us for pretty much everything. Accidentally pushed the red button while visiting the White House? - baseball. Mistook the dog for a towel and used... Continue Reading →
I thought I'd post a picture of my mom for Mother's Day. I know what you're thinking. Your thinking, "Look out, she's a futuristic cyborg! ...Or she works for the NSA." Wrong on both counts. See, these days my mom is an avid photographer and I think this picture best represents her. This is who... Continue Reading →
We here at MojoFiction own a telescope. It’s nothing fancy, a Celestron “Astromaster 70AZ,” meaning the aperture is 70mm. It’s a refractor telescope (as opposed to using a Newtonian reflector), so you’re not going to see distant galaxies with it or super-sharp detail, but our local solar system easily is in play. We originally bought... Continue Reading →
