[thelist] Random, Not the same Random twice

All,
I'm attempting to assign a random value to 3 different variables; I
don't want the variables to be able to have duplicates of the same value
(ie, they shouldn't both pull the number 2).
So far, I've got this:
<CFSET Story1 = #RandRange(1,Stories.recordCount +1)#>
<CFSET Story2 = #RandRange(1,Stories.recordCount +1)#>
<CFSET Story3 = #RandRange(1,Stories.recordCount +1)#>
And it works great, but I can--and do--get duplicates. I'm searching
for a resource to disallow Story2 and Story3 from getting the same
variable as Story1, but I'm drawing a blank.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Russ
