how was your meeting sweety?
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 17 Oct 2012, 10:46, Reply)

it was ok, a fat man with a goatee complained about hippies and talked to me like i cared about a guitar game that teaches you to play guitar on the x box

the hippies have set up a campsite on his land
i'm going to get one of our guys to write them a very strongly worded letter

he talked about guitars for no apparent reason

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 17 Oct 2012, 10:55, Reply)

Is that the bunch in Egham?
I watched it on the news and the hippie was all like "we want to show that we can use the land in different, sustainable ways".

OK mate, sure. How about doing it on your own fucking land unless you expect us to believe that a bunch of hippies camping in woodland owned by a developer is anything other than a stupid protest about developers or whatever.

( Kroney, Wed 17 Oct 2012, 11:09, Reply)

the best jokes are the ones you have to explain...
OK, an oxymoron is "a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms" so the joke is that " I am neither humourless, nor a retard.
Perhaps I just don't find you funny." is self-contradictory because pone has to be wither retarded or humourless not to find my epic wit funny...

you may laugh now.

( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Wed 17 Oct 2012, 11:21, Reply)

I'll have a go because I dislike ignorance even though you'll probably just do another "yes dear"
secure, as you are, in your self-righteousness.

However, an oxymoron has to be partly true. It's a paradox brought about by two seemingly contradictory words, used together, that nevertheless describe a truth. You have described a mere contradiction, not an oxymoron. Reading something in a dictionary does not teach you to use it correctly.

tl:dr, you're wrong, you look stupid, you probably don't care.
