You have to understand that having had open-heart surgery with the pump
I have suffered some brain damage from which I think I have made some
small recovery through recircuiting those synapses destroyed by the
constantly thrown clots of the heart lung machine. 

Master debater.  Pun on masturbator. 
homonym. depends on homo as "man," or currently, "person," as in homo
sapiens. Ad hominem, thus is an attack on the "man" (person), as opposed
to the "argument." Greeks, from my perspective, and I think Ben's, were
weird (but Howard is not ready to buy this yet). They thought the
argument could be abstracted from the arguer. Distinctly unpomo, which
holds that to work with anything you need to know who said it, and when,
and where (i.e. in what political circumstances).  

So what's the pun? I said, if you gonna be talkin about jackin' off, I
be gonna talk about yo' mamma. (momonym). If I thought that there were
any black members of this list, I might could (double modal
characteristic of the guf' coast area known to locals as the "golden
triangle") have writ, "mamonym." Fo' honkeys though, there would be no
resonance. the only bounce would be off of "mam," which don't be
"ma'am," and instead could suggest a play on "mammary."   

Are you on the floor yet?

I think, by the way, that your _tu quoque_ to Howard is in error. I
would like to just ask that when the thread dies that you revive that
question. We might have an interesting exchange.The boy, however, will
not shut up until his posts receive no response, and I cannot, therefore
engage the question here.
