 The phrase "jumbo shrimp" is quasi-contradictory and thefore an oxymoron.

It is actually a pun, since both words have social connotations. The

phrase

 "large giant" is similar to the phrase "hollow tube," in that the

adjective

 is not required for description of the noun, and is therfore redundant.

It's never really what you own but what you threw away

And how much did you pay? Bad Religion "Kyoto Now"

Ok, all you Giant Composite racers. Surely, it's time to move up to a new

frame for the 2005 season. Meaning you might be parting with your 2003/4

Giant composite.    If so, a friend of mine is seeking a Giant TCR

composite frame, in Large. Let me know if anyone is looking to sell

one. Thanks.



Gary



ps. I found a medium one earlier; I'm all set.
