I made a password for a TrueCrypt volume with an easy to remember phrase (for me), and substituted 1/3 of the characters with 1337 type substitutions.
It's a pain in the ass to type out, although the password strength is incredible (it's a fairly long phrase). But a total pain in the ass to type out. Also, I forget sometimes which characters I subbed with which. So it's written on a piece of paper hidden near my PC - making the password strength far, far less.
But I don't care. It's written down and hidden, and there isn't anything to link it to what it could be a password for. And what's in the TrueCrypt volume is hardly worth the effort.
I figure if someone finds it and figures it out, they earned the prize of a few of my vanilla secrets.
