Well, parrot is an anagram for ‘raptor’, and lithographer is an anagram for ‘hit raptor leg’. Then you have ‘leg’ on your list.

Clearly, you were fighting raptors at the time. Perhaps alongside Long John Silver and his parrot. Are legs a raptor’s weak spot?

Ooh, wait. Clearly there are pirates and treasure involed, what with the Long John Silver and the parrot and the lithographer. Maybe you and the pirates were fighting raptors for treasure. That’s what Stranglethorn Veil in World of Warcraft is all about. There are raptors and pirates and treasure all over the place. Maybe you needed to resupply arrows or potions or something. Do you play WoW?

Easy. You made a list of things to talk to people about or do. Right now I have a similar one which goes “Plant Clothes 4.10 (crossed out) Emily (crossed out) Work here Dream Ratio Dark Animal”.

Have you ever done online traffic school? They throw words that dont belong into the middle of sentences, and at the end instead of quizzing you on content they quiz you on the misplaced words. =]

Sounds like a camping trip, or something related to the outdoors field. Bunting as you know is a boating thing, legends and lithography are part of map readings for geologic research… well, that’s my thoughts… who knows. Foxhounds are used in hunting… Or you were playing Scattergories one night and just happened to find a sheet from it.

the unusual thing about this list is it’s complete lack of patterns.
There appears to be at least one word to break any kind of reasoning.
resupplying mputs a verb in a list of nouns. Johns brings a plural proper noun into play, lithographer is entirely to unusual to be a part of any kind of meaningful text especially when coupled with other words in the list, leg is too common and short to be a part of any sort of serious attempt at a list of unusual words.

I’d say the list is a nerd snipe but the two crosses, the mark on resupplying and the hole in johns suggest that the list was not intended for public viewing.

leg was not interrupted halfway through writing “legends” or there would be a mark of some kind to indicate it.

I thought the parrot - raptor anagram was interesting.
