not sure if all of this syntax will work in 5, but
set gMarkerList = []
set numberOfListItems = the number of words in the labellist
repeat with eachLabel = 1 to numberOfListItems
add(gMarkerList, word eachlabel of the labellist)
then you've got your list, and you can:
put getAt(gMarkerList, random(numberOfListItems )) into Y
go to Y
