Logical contradictions in certain notions of monotheistic deities

The most specific explanation I've ever heard from the theist camp is along the lines of: "well, God is just ya know...the Bestest."

Theists, what does it mean for God to be perfect?  How do you define divine perfection?

Or conversely, what it would it mean for a god to not be perfect?

If the only standard is himself, how can he fail?
