Oxymorons. They are just about the greatest things out there. Examples? Here:

It's a little confusing right? Yeah, well, imagine living through that experience.
Hey! I'm Dylan Cameron. I'm sixteen and I live in Horseshoe Beach Florida, population: 284. I think our town name is an oxymoron, too.

We are pretty much the trouble children. We can get really annoying, but hey? What's highschool without a couple of class clowns? Zander, Lyla, and I, we like it here in Horseshoe. It's perfect for us. We've had our differences, though. Kinda like this story. We...
