The Vulcan Neck Pinch...

[CaptainStoner]

The Vulcans cannot normally resort to such....primitive displays, being as their superior physique would easlily kill most humanoids. That is why they developed the neck pinch, but not so much to display their superior technique as it was for insurance reasons. A Vulcan who doesn't know the neck pinch is a huge liability to begin with, then you try writing a policy for that Vulcan on a starship....highly illogical.
It's the same reason non-Vulcan mates have to sign a Pon Farr clause. They don't want distraught parents showing up on Vulcan. Ruins the ambience.

Your argument breaks down when you remember the Vulcans OWN the insurance companies! It's all part of the conspiracy to keep humans down by keeping The Kirk Chop from the public's awareness!

Vulcan is the Hartford, Connecticut of the Beta Quadrant? It would explain a few things.

Insurance companies know no boundries. Thus it is illogical to limit your question to a single quadrant.

Des Moines, Iowa is the OTHER "insurance capitol" of the US. Not a huge step up or down. <shrug>

Let's not forget about Dr. McCoy here. He had the McCoy Quip (TM). It couldn't affect it's target in a physical way but it could tear through a person's psyche and ruin a person's entire day in an instant.

Hell, this could make a Rock/Paper/Scissors game.
Rock = Kirk Chop (Because it's rock hard.)
Paper = Vulcan Nerve Pinch (it's a surprisingly non-violent attack.)
Scissors= McCoy Quip (It cuts you down.)

"Chop...Pinch...Quip!"

"Chop!" "Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor, not an escalator!"
"Chop beats Quip!"
"Damn..."

For some reason I really want a salad that's been chopped, pinched and quipped now.

Shades of DS9 where Garak gets beaten up but points out to Bashir that he got some cutting remarks in. When Bashir didn't understand how that compared to the beating, Garak says words to the effect that he will heal, but his antagonists' egos will be damaged far longer.

T'Lloyd's of Vulcan?

Much of this thread seems illogical to me.

...is highly overrated and is at least equaled by the Kirk Chop (tm) in my book. The best thing about the Kirk Chop (tm) is that it can be learned by anyone willing to wear red tights to learn it! You don't have to be an elitist Vulcan to subdue your enemies with a single move! The Vulcans have downplayed this simple truth to keep the emotional humans in their place. No more I tell you! Stop worshipping the neck pinch, and buy some red tights today!

But, don't forget the Kirk Flying Two-Footed Drop-Kick™ too!

Of course that will be included in the curriculum, if the course is adopted. You have to remember that we're essentially dealing with Television Executive Level Mentality here (Just look at the post just preceeding yours!), while trying to sell a policy that will save all humanoids from complete and utter Vulcan domination! Also included in the course is what we in the 'Vulcans Look Like The Devil For A Reason Club' (aka: VLLTDFARC inc. or "Viltedfark" at the social functions) like to call the Other Vulcan Death Grip. Which of course a Vulcan can only receive!.

Sounds good E-cubed. Just be sure to have students wear a pair of red stretchy-pants and/or tights, as the Kirk Flying Two-Footed Drop-Kick™ has been known to split the seam up near the... HELLO SAILOR! Oh that's embarrassing Cap'n...

Be sure to review the mission tapes for further information in regard to this harrowing predicament...

And... queue fight theme, on my mark ... 3 ... 2 ... 1... and roll tape... Dut da da da da da da da da da da... Dut da da, da da da daaaa...
