We here at MojoFiction decided it was high time we started playing disc golf. We decided it after our brother-in-law wouldn’t quit talking about it and then his wife wouldn’t stop talking about it and since, if you’ve followed the lineage, his wife is MojoFiction’s sister, we had to respond lest we lose another battle...

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS FANS UNLEASH MASTER PLAN VS. CUBS
Anyone familiar with the baseball rivalry between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals knows that it’s the greatest rivalry in the history of sports where at least one of the teams constantly sucks. Since it’s baseball, I’m sure there’s a stat about that somewhere. So it’s a decidedly lopsided rivalry, which may be... Continue Reading →
Norman Rockwell, Where Art Thou?
Picture if you will a dark, overcast day in Chicago. Street lamps reflect in small pools of water left over from the rain and a thin mist seems to hang in the air. Our eye takes us downtown, to the intersection of Wacker and LaSalle Street, just over the bridge. Imagine the rain has stopped ten... Continue Reading →
Thank You for Calling, the Thought Police are Standing By…
Strange, random thought of the day, but it's been bugging me, so here you go. A number of atheists cite the idea that a god who spends their time obsessing over what people think doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s hard to disagree with them.

Whisky Magazine Scores One for the Printed Word!
There has been a tennis match going on for some time now between those that think the printed word is dead and those who firmly believe that spending $50 - $200 on a gadget that gives you the privilege of spending more money on something to read is a little wacky.

In Which We Discover Time Travel While Simultaneously Disproving the Existence of Time and, Therefore, Proving that Men are Smarter than Women
Ever wonder why Doctor Who (the smartest guy in the universe) always has a female companion, but he never has a relationship with her? That's right, modesty. But let us explain. See, this whole thing really began when we accidentally discovered time travel. And, unlike Hot Tub Time Machine (or Doctor Who for that matter), this really... Continue Reading →

The Long Father’s Day – Celebrating All Things Dad (Part 4)
THE DRAWING One of my best friends is Puerto Rican by way of New York. He was best man at my wedding and I was best man at his. His best man speech was one of those designed to embarrass, but the open bar before the reception may have led him to forgetting some of... Continue Reading →
The Long Father’s Day – Celebrating All Things Dad (Part 3)
THE SECRET AGENDA OF GRANDPA My dad was always just dad until my son was born, then I started thinking about him as Grandpa. Mine wasn’t even his first grandkid.
