And now, a mindless waste of time. Yesterday, when we were supposed to be working (but we were goofing off instead), the staff here at MojoFiction ran across some interesting quotes across the webiverse and we thought we would throw them out there in the form of a quiz, to see if you pay attention to...

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S STAR WARS (A Book Review)
VERILY, A NEW HOPE This is a real book. Seriously. We here at MojoFiction couldn’t believe it either. Shakespeare AND Star Wars together? Break out the paper bags because we’re hyperventilating from too much excitement due to overexposure to a geek fantasy unlike any other. Sci-fi nuts, historians, and your college English professor together in... Continue Reading →
DISC GOLF HERO
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...

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 →

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 5)
FATHER'S DAY GIFTS! Now we come to it, the real meaning of Father’s Day. You thought it was all that other stuff, but let’s get real, it’s about the gifts.

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. Technically, he has eight of them, but, since those other ones belong to my brothers and sister, and since I have never given up on... Continue Reading →
The Long Father’s Day – Celebrating All Things Dad (Part 1)
GREAT MOMENTS IN DAD HISTORY!
