Not missing it, RH. Believe me, I'd like to punch Marty up myself (Marty Sleazeball Punchdoll? It's a sure winner! -:D ). But far better than a smackdown is to take their illicit gains from them, through jail time and punitive damages.

Now, I'm wondering just how many zeros and which starting numeral should be involved in the opening pre-court negotiations. -:>

Just about everyone has overlooked that if Thelma hadn't gotten physical with Marty, she wouldn't have gotten into wrestling, and there would be a chunk of the story missing, since Tuck found her in the ring.

4) Finally, Thelma's minority status also means she can't legally have signed any contracts...
Minor (no pun intended) legal point, but there are two ages to consider here. Age of Consent (usually 16), below which any sex is "statutory rape" and advances are "pedophilia"; and Age of Majority (usually 18 or 21), below which a person is a minor and not legally responsible (most of the time) for their actions. Oddly, if the contest operators and photographer are in trouble for this point, so is the wrestling promoter she's working for now. (Just how old is Thelma at this point? I suspect 18...)

But in Marty's case, it's a moot point. He made a sexual advance on a hireling / client from a position of authority and trust. Moreover, he made a physical advance. Thelma's reaction may be extreme, but there's a good chance she's legally (in addition to the obvious morally) justified.

What's needed is for the photographer and the contest (or maybe just the modeling) operators to get hurt legally and financially - and then the settlement money used to follow them around and make sure everyone they try to do this to again knows what they've been convicted of...

Ouch!

Like he said - we're not missing that at all. We're taking that as a given - why else are we (nearly) all cheering on the mayhem? One doesn't even need to have religious-based ethics to see that - just ethics.

Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual... such as yourself to rule the world. No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one... Solidus. ...What should I do about the woman? Yes sir. I'll keep her under surveillance. Yes. Thank you. Good-bye...... Mr. President.

I think letting him live with "damaged goods" would be far more humiliating.

Or was I the only male here that cringed when she did the "Hickory Nut Crunch"? :o Yeowch. :x
I'm lost. I've gone to find myself. If I should return before I get back, please ask me to wait. Thanks.

I cringed, but, for a different reason: If I were her, I'd be scrubbing my feet with soap and hot water and alchohol; because, <i>she just stepped in something nasty!</i>

Oh no.....you had company. :x From the sound he made when her foot came down, (HAIGH!!!) I got the impression he might have been choking on them! :wink: :D

Have you ever seen a Jean Claude Van Damm movie called "Lionheart"? In a fight scene in an underground parking lot, this wannabe badass throws a side snap kick at him (Van Damm) who drops low and blocks it with his left forearm. He's now below this guys waist in a crouch with this guys leg help up and a cocked right fist....there's about a 1 sec. pause and he then drives that right fist into the dudes nads in a straight in snap punch! :o

EVERY guy and quite a few chicks in the theatre cringed at that instant, and a collective "AUUGGHH" was immediately heard throughout the audience. It was one of the most visually painfull punches I'd ever seen in a movie. :x Needless to say, the fight was over right there. BTW.....you enjoyed seeing the dude get it because of what he'd done to his last opponent.

If you haven't seen it....check it out. It's not too bad.

The few times I've heard a man take one in the 'nads, (and this is backed up by personal experience as well, unfortunately) they don't scream much. Just a "huuhgh" sort of sound followed by either staggering, sitting down, falling, whimpering, groaning, vomiting, or unconsciousness depending on the amount of damage done.

You forgot curled up on the ground (floor) in a fetal position that requires the jaws of life to get un-curled :-?

Uhmm.. OK. I left out some details... I'll just list that as an addendum under "falling"
A close relative of mine used to be involved in amateur rodeo events... Won a lot of ribbons.
Some of them blue.
Ain't worth it, I say.

Al things considered, I think Marty got off light. Working under the assumption that Tuck and Thelma will eventually wed, can you imagine his reaction if Tuck found out that Marty had taken what was rightfully his on the wedding bed? :o

Albeit, we haven't seen Tuck's reaction thus far, therefore it might be a good idea for Marty to hire a body guard...

Although who in their right mind...

EDIT: Oh and Solidus, taking his money and beating the crap out of him yourself doesen't count... :D
