5,000 unsolvable Problems: black to live. "a" might be a good start.  
Now new: "10,000 unreadable Kifus" & "5,000 unsolvable Problems", Drama Press
A common technique is handing out the Tsumego to your opponent to frustrate him before your game.
Complete with "help" to the starting point, but of course without real solution.

Standard pattern from "10,000 unreadable Kifus".  

No one grasps what happened beneath the mythical "Fog of War".

  only equipped with his worm infested Goban.
"O sh-t, oshitsubushi!", after "1,2,3, Furikawari" this is the 2nd lecture about professional bragging in Go.
  Counter the self-confident shouts of "ATARI!" from your opponent with: "OIOTOSHI!!" and leave him wondering
  about that while you play still concentrated and crush him. If not, then fearlessly hurl a TENUKI from your tool belt.
In preparation: "The Silent Subtle Psycho Series"

Also in preparation: "The Stones go dancing" and other dirty distractions for your opponent.

Dango Argentino, from the same book  

Fernando Aguilar:

"Dango Argentino"
- note on the illustration how this Dango shape is perfectly put into place.

An excerpt from my bestseller "Randomly uttered stuff by random famous - and not so famous - Go players":

Lance Armstrong:"Go is like professional cycling- just you against the elements of truth, honesty and integrity."
Cho Chikun: "It is not, what we... how shall I put it?"
Go Seigen: "Never forget: the most important move is... no, forget it, just play. Cya."
Donald Trump: "I met my 2nd, 4th, 7th and 9th wives through go."
Muttley (about Joseki): "hmmmm...."
Master Yoda (about strength): "The force strong in you is, young Padawan."
Croakey Hobblefoot, the one legged pirate from Snake Island:
 "When I was younger, everyone in my household played go- father, mother, brother, sister, my pet snake and the man in the cellar."
Tokee (playing go in a Café): "I'd like a coffee, too, please."
Chuck Norris "A day isn't a day unless I have roundhouse kicked a goban."

Quotes of my past go teachers

(a la Muttley)

  Umezawa Yukari: Your style reminds me of Hikaru no Go.
  Me: Wow, Hikaru no Go. Thats some statement!
  Umezawa Yukari: To be more precise: you know of that girl,
  Akari Fujisaka that lost so badly against Hikaru with 24 handicap stones?
  Kobayashi Koichi: Your game reminds me of Lee Sedol.
  In one aspect, at least: you are taking too many risks.
  Takemiya Masaki: One might call your play also "cosmic": look, all ya groups are like dozens of stars,
   all with a single eye, and remind me of black holes.
  Cho Chikun: If you keep playing like this, I'll never play you again!
  Me: You can't, I already paid our next 20 lessons!
  Cho Chikun: That's why I hate Go!*
  *Cho Chikun once stated he hates Go (despite his skill)
