BAM...it's an exclaimation rather than a description so it least fits with the others.

Yes...do tell.
Carrot? It is/was alive.

toaster. But only when it's plugged in and nice and hot. Then it would have the highest entropy and therefore be the most random. Although I would have to wonder if a living system like a carrot is pretty random too, but I think they are mostly starch. Now if you had a carrot in the toaster, well then it'd be a hands down win.

Interesting how the list can be interpreted many different ways.
"left" can be considered the most random since it is a relative measurement. There is no definitive "left" without a point of reference. "toaster", "carrot", and "blue" are not really relative to anything, and they are usually easy to identify. If "BAM" is a sound, it is fairly identifiable, although it could be an acronym for something more random.

It's got to be blue. There are approximately 285,987,092,719 shades of blue.
I win!
