Let’s say I want to make a sub involving 2 of the choices from a madlib, but one of them is only in the madlib by unfortunate chance – I actually want to say “a and @b”, but there’s a chance that ”@b” will pick “a” as the madlib choice, and it makes no sense to say “a and a”.

Is there any way to tell the system to pick randomly from the madlib choices, but exclude “a”?

Or for the case where only a subset of the madlib choices actually make sense… maybe you want a random time-unit, but “nanosecond” and “jiffy” and “half-month” don’t make sense or sound right.

I’m guessing the answer is probably no, but it’s worth asking.
