By the way, when we were creating these puzzles using randomized word lists, we often thought of a silly game we played as children many years ago. We would take a dictionary (or any 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. We'd repeat this process a few times. This would effectively produce a randomized list of words. Then the challenge was to tell a story using those words in some fashion. The results were often pure nonesense. But always a lot of fun!

Here's what we came up with using the word list from Puzzle 73:

"In an abortive attempt, an inordinate number of fishy guys vocally tried to partially wean a sloth with a fixable crutch. They saved it by observably using the simplex method of the maker, along with a paginating ladle and crate. Rumors swirled then and annoyingly, gasps can still be heard now."
