Results from last poll:

Favorite Sharing Game

Free Rider 1/2 - 12
Starshine - 2
Punk-o-matic - 5
Obessive Compulse Tournament - 1
Shift 3 - 3

As expected, Free Rider 2 won with a landslide. (Or however that's supposed to go.)

The next poll in this thread was suggested by IWazBord. Please don't be afraid to suggest polls on my messenger like he did.

Next Poll:

What is your favorite oxymoron? In case you're wondering, and oxymoron is a set of words that contradict themselves, such as jumbo shrimp, pretty ugly, etc.

Try and keep them common, though I will include the more abstract ones when voted for.

Ok, I'm done talking. You can vote now.

Hey guys. Just wanted to ask that if you vote here, please try to make each post a decent length and not post more than once. Maybe twice if it is prudent.

And, of course, stay on topic and all that jazz.

kthnx.

Well, I suppose to not go against Voidy there, and also to avoid confusion with the first two votes, make sure you vote for 4 oxymorons. And you can use ones others have said. That's the whole point of it being a poll and not a "What are your favorite oxymorons?" thread.

Also, you don't have to make them up, in case anyone was planning on doing that.

Current poll status:

black light - 1
bittersweet - 1
clearly confusing - 1
ninja turtles - 1
jumbo shrimp - 1
smart blond (Not a big fan of this one since I am technically blonde, but hey, I have a sense of humor) - 1
dumb nerd - 1
good death - 1

I have to say... Oxymoron (Oxys: Sharp, Moras: Dumb) It has to be the best oxymoron.

So close to saying "Cenere" as well, but... Yeah.
Microsoft Works (I have to agree on that one being an oxymoron...)
Plastic glasses; I have those...
And black light for the random.

Dragon, that was unesesary. Nonetheless, it is a good oxymoron, BUT YOU SPELT IT WRONG!

'i iz cloolez'

You can change it to plastic glasses if you want.

Buuut, if you don't XD

Sorry about the smart blond comment. There are a lot of smart blonds in our school. It happens that the dumbest kids are also blond....anyways, sorry for misunderstanding the thread.

Lets see Bittersweet. Because I love Bittersweet sympony by The Verve.

Clearly Confusing works well as an oxymoron.

civil War day ain't Civil.

Trustworthy politicians haven;t seen one yet. (actually I don;t think I've met a politician yet.)

Weight watchers and ice cream neighbours

SLim fast and ice cream product

Lol at oxymoronic placement.
