It's 2:52PM in Harrison Township, MI... Time for another installment of ASK MR. SCORPIO!!!

[Mr. Scorpio]

As Santa makes his merry way around the world to gift good little boys, girls and non-binary persons with various Playstations and assorted swag for accessorizing Tik-Tok videos, I figured that it's about time to add to the seasonal festivities by doing a long awaited ASK MR. SCORPIO installment. I hope that you'll join in for the fun stuff.

If you're not familiar with ASK Mr. SCORPIO, please understand that this isn't a trivia contest. If you want that, please watch Jeopardy instead.

If you do decide to go the quiz show route, I guarantee that you’ll be disappointed. I’m not a walking encyclopedia. This is more like an advice column. So please, no guessing games, because this isn’t a challenge to my knowledge about anything.

I’ve been up all night and out for a good part of the day, so I’m about to hit the sack. So please post your questions and I will get to each and every one of them once I wake up and sign back on.

Just to let you know, garbage in, garbage out. Again, my responses will be tailored to your individual questions, all in the spirt of fun. Since this is all in good fun, that’s just the spirit I’m trying to relay.

So, hit me up with whatever you got and I’ll get back to you on the other side.

Let’s have some fun. See you later tonight.

1. K&R

I've never played ASK MR. SCORPIO and so will be watching this thread to see what all happens.

Merry Christmas to you, Mr. Scorpio.

[Mr. Scorpio]

7. Merry Christmas!

2. Why can't every person be a genius?

Have a safe, warm and healthy Holidays.

[Mr. Scorpio]

8. I tend to believe that everyone retains the spark of genius in one way or the other.

We all can't be chess grandmasters or theoretical physicists.

3. From Berlin twp, Mi. Have a lovely Holiday.

[Mr. Scorpio]

9. You too, it's always BETTER in the WINTER WONDERLAND!

4. How about cat relationship advice?

Got two female cats, about the same age, that tolerate each other, but jealously. If you get a toy out for one, the other saunters over and won't be distracted by anything else. She wants THAT toy. Catnip not the best solution; one cat mellows but the other seems to get aggressive or paranoid.

Big enough house they don't have to interact except when treats are on the agenda, they'll get within six feet for treats.

My better half thinks the answer is "a kitten" of course. Got anything in the bag of tricks for this scenario? Thanks in advance!

[Mr. Scorpio]

10. I know very little about cats. I've never known and I'm not and expert on their behavior... But...

I would tend to think that the one showing aggression is doing so because she feels insecure and exposed.

A new kitten, while attracting more of your attention from the others, would probably do nothing but exacerbate the negative behaviors. You didn't mention urine marking, but if that's been a problem, adding a kitten would only make that happen more.

What triggers your cat's jealousy is something that you need to investigate and figure out how to gradually address it.

I'm sure that you cat just needs to feel secure and loved in her own home.

I take it that this is an indoor cat.

[NotASurfer]

16. Well spoken, Swami

Both are indoor, no marking issues, they tolerate each other, never going to be buddies. As long as the truce is peaceful I guess. Thank you for your advice

5. This question comes to you from glorious Upper Turkeyfoot Township, PA

What are your thoughts about the likelihood that New York City is more beloved by people living outside the US than with MAGAts?

[Mr. Scorpio]

11. Very likely...

Consider that, to the outside world, NYC is considered the epicenter of America for immigrants. It's the place where Americans are made from the fabric of the rest of the world. It's literally the LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. An immigrant comes to this country, and with with other immigrants, achieve the American Dream.

MAGAts, on the hand, think of NYC as a Sodom and Gomorrah that's infested with dirty liberals and brown furriners.

13. What's on your playlist for the holidays?

[Mr. Scorpio]

14. Motown Christmas and Vince Guaraldi, of course

[Solly Mack]

15. Awesome! Thanks!

[Harker]

17. Thank you, Mr. Scorpio...

I have yet to get a thoughtful answer to this question, and I'd be grateful for yours:

Where does it all lead?

Thanks,
Harker

[Mr. Scorpio]

18. It all leads to a series of present moments.

Our entire lives have led up to the here and now.

The future will always exist, the past has always existed, the present never ends... Until it does for each of us.

[Harker]

19. I am fulfilled.

Good night, and thanks very much, Mr. Scorpio.
