    Default Oxymoron Game -- Can you really draw a blank?

    I bet we would come up with a fine mess of primo oxymorons. No? (I meant yes, of course.)

    I think this game is awfully nice, and I predict this thread will turn out frightfully good.

    Oxymoron? If they had enough oxygen they wouldn't be morons.

    Gee, I always thought Oxymoron was a cleaning agent for people of questionable intelligence . . .

    True story: I once read in a patient's medical chart a nurse's note that she administered oxymoron (oops! She meant oxycodone) for the patient's pain with good effect. Laughed so hard it brought tears to my eyes. That nurse must have been spending a little too much time helping her middleschooler with his homework the night before.

    I would use OxyMoron to clean my house, too, but the microphone keeps fallin off while I work. Maybe I shoud one of those SlamWow thingies.

    SPAMWOW is meat that comes in a can and then cleans up after itself.

    Wicked good thread.

    Baseball announcer Jerry Coleman used to have some doozies, such as
    "The runner slides into second base with a stand-up double."

    Then of course there's military intelligence.

    And since drawing a blank was mentioned, how about drawing a conclusion?

    Sure wish I had some jumbo shrimp for supper. As it is, we're having baked beanie weenies -- eating cheap!

    I love oxymorons and will contribute -- even though I only have an American education.

    Bibi & Obama look like they are going to butt heads for awhile.

    When Bibi scolded him on TV, Obama's silence spoke volumes.

    And all the reporters typed up their reports on Microsoft Works.
