That was hilarious!my favourite three are:tame cat .deafening silence (yes it really exists! ) and ofcource diet ice-cream (I wish I could do this and not gain thousands of kilos or die...):D

[Isagel]

Hehe. Tame cat is one of my favorites as well. My other two favorites are Microsoft works (PAH!) and non -working mother - no such thing exists.

[Ickmeister]

hey, Microsoft... works. I use it

[Koa]

dying Life
ace of base
silent screams
living dreams

[starrwriter]

Has anyone mentioned "military intelligence" yet? Now there's a contradiction in terms. If aliens ever land and confront the military, they will conclude there is no intelligent life on earth.

[RobinHood3000]

Yeah, it's up there, a little after "Microsoft Works."

[Loki]

"Thank God I'm an atheist," "I'd give my right hand to be ambidextrous," and "almost definitely/almost certainly" (not sure if that's up there). Oh, and "cyclone breeze", an old nickname of mine.

I love oxymorons too. ;)

[Loki]

Microsoft Works

Is there such a thing as Macintosh Works? Now that would be a good one.

[Anon22]

I got a couple of (Warning: Lame pun up ahead) "boring" ones:

Interestingly Boring
Intense Boredom

and also Mournful Optimist

[white camellia]

I see this category of vocabulary and expression embody perfectly the paradox of a substance, especially human. I would use the following to portray mine:
permanently temporary
treacherous duteous
