Game: Dominion sentences

I thought of this from another thread about Dominion affecting real life, when someone mentioned working at the Duke University Library. Come up with realistic-sounding sentences that use as many Dominion card names as you can.

I drove my Ford Explorer to the Bank to see if I could get a Loan from a Moneylender, but it turned out that my Estate wasn't enough to qualify.

I suppose this depends on whether I'm allowed to use Dickensian opening lines...

A guy once went to see the ruler of the kingdom, to report about his Fishing village (also his Native village) being attacked by Smugglers on Pirate ships. He was escorted to the King's court, where the king asked where their Secret chamber is. The guy answered:
- The Wharf.
- The what? - the king replied.
- The Wharf.
- What?
- The Wharf.

The king sent his best Militias to counter the increasing threat, and after a couple of months of battling they turned all the Pirate ships into Ghost ships. The guy was rewarded with an Island not far from the Seaside for his efforts.

Popped down to me local, the Duchess, to duke it out with the locals and to do some pass the duchy to the left hand side.

I was going to visit the market or the village laboratory to see if they had any potions for sale, but I didn't, because I am familiar with the owner of the market and he is vacationing on an island with the baron and will be going to a hunting party on his estate.

Lookout!!!

What's the most complex sentence you can put together that consists ONLY of the names of Dominion cards, but still makes sense?

I'll try: "Noble Brigand, Loan Sir Vander Counterfeit Gold!"

Island Harvest Hamlet Familiar Explorer Tribute Stash Tunnel Catacombs Inn Abandoned Mine Followers Loan Cartographer Treasure Map Smugglers Develop Bazaar Contraband Trade Route Caravan Hoard Great Hall Rats

I land, harvest ham, let familiar explorer tribute stash, tunnel catacombs in abandoned mine; followers loan cartographer treasure map; smugglers develop bizarre contraband trade route caravan, hoard great haul --  rats!

I return from my sea voyage and harvest my swine herd, and let an explorer I've worked with before pay me from his own pocket for exploratory rights in the caves connected to my abandoned mining operation. Unfortunately, my followers take notes of the catacombs and lend them to an untrustworthy mapmaker! Soon, smugglers establish a route to transfer good illegally underground through my lands, without sharing any of the profits with me. Nuts!

Surely this is only a challenge if you say you cant use the setting that is the games theme! Or you could just describe a Province and its surrounding estates and what goes on there!
