By the way, when we were creating these puzzles using randomized lists of words, we often thought of a silly game we played as children. We would take a dictionary (or a book, magazine or newspaper), randomly open it and with our eyes closed, drop our fingers onto the page. Whatever words they landed on would be written down. This would be repeated a few times until we basically had a jumbled list of words. Then we would challenge each other to come up with a story using these words. The stories would almost always be pure nonesense. But sometimes they were pretty hilarious. Give it a try, it's a lot of fun!

____________

Here's what we came up with using the word list from Puzzle 109:

The Priest of Dale was preparing for an accident. A sparrow delivered an arrowhead with a blinding note: "Take a breather, build a bulwark, and stop looking so verbose." His robe was caked in pudding, and the commander had to crashland nearby, cringing. With disdain and doubts, the priest issued an exclamatory decree about the expiration of soup. A sudden fluctuation in the soup's temperature would fulfill a prophecy, making everyone giggly. A spoon hung from the ceiling as the mayor became immersed in gravy. An immigrant tried to inspire the crowd by jiggling a lilliputian marmoset during its mating dance. At the millionth bell, the mortuary opened, its door notched like the perch of our favorite patroness. A pied goat was populating the lobby, reaping applause. The priest promised to refinish the altar. Then the goat rejoined the tribe, shouting "good riddance!" Its rumpled hat earned a salary, though critics would scoff. A shattering crash sent sparkles flying, and the priest began stationing ducks by velocity." Very sensible," he whispered.
