Rumsfeld never had any Mojo. I only have figurative Mojo (no actual trinket).

Yes.

There were 2 questions. You only got 50% and that is failing. Try again. A few more words may help
shed light on the topic.

Let me clarify: Yes, it is a Mountain biking term and yes it is a term from a movie (Austin Powers).
No, I don't have a mojo for my bike as a mojo has not found me yet.

the film Austin Powers who 'lost' his mojo when fat [censored] stole it.

While he has lost his mojo he is impotent but when he gets it back he screws felicity shagwell.

good show

why are you strapping things to you bike for luck? riding has got about as much to do with luck
as exams do.

Doesn't the term pre-date Austin Powers by decades? I believe Jim Morrison anagramized his name into
Mr. Mojo Risin' in a song made before I was born. That may not even be the first use of the term.

I can't believe you guys are spending so much time trying to figure out what a mojo is when its
defined in the article.

And I don't have one on the bike, as it'd just end up being trail litter.

-BB- BB,

We are trying to establish the orgin of the word and not just taking CNN or Websters at their word.
I first heard it from a friend who built some great trails in our area. He straps on "Shaggie"; that
dude from Scooby Doo. He has him on there with plastic ties so he wont come off. My son wanted a
Mojo so he strapped on a alligator head and calls him Allie. I prefer not to use one myself because
I don't think luck has much to do with anything.

Meaning A have a lucky charm; your magic can't work against me. Origin Mojo means voodoo. The phrase
originated with black blues music in the US, possibly from Muddy Water's eponymous song.

I think luck has a lot to do with things. It's just that we have no control over it, regardless of
any trinkets we may have for such a purpose.

I agree about the trinkets but what about all the folks fixing to do voodoo on you!

luck-
n.
1. The chance happening of fortunate or adverse events; fortune: They met one day out of pure luck.
2. Good fortune or prosperity; success: We wish you luck.
3. One's personal fate or lot: It was just my luck to win a trip I couldn't take. Cleanbean

I'm ok. I just threw some salt over my left shoulder, did that two fingered spit thing (whatever
that is), didn't step on a crack, didn't break any mirrors, walked in and out of my office doorway
three times, and found a penny. I'm ready to go and do some freeridin' cause I'm invincible! (except
for my left shoulder)

A "Mojo" is utterly childish and should not be tolerated.

A transcendant being as a companion, though, who accompanies us on every ride, and whom we follow
and converse with on the trail, on the other hand, is another thing entirely.
