how do I make it pick something randomly from a list?

do I do something like this?

var/list/samplelist = ("instert","objects","to","be","chosen","From","Here"
var/verb/samplepick
usr << pick(samplelist)

var/list/samplelist = list("insert","objects","to","be","chosen","From","Here")
mob/verb/samplepick()
        usr << pick(samplelist)
