Print Either, then only print that.

Hey folks. using sugarcane I think. Twine 1.4.2
I know how to get a passage to print either (A, B, C or D). but is it possible to make it ONLY print that from then on?
EG:
"I am the (Mushroom / Potato) King". Prints 'mushroom'. From then on, it will only print that one.

I have contemplated variables for this, but there are going to be hundreds of these! (Idle chatter between off-screen characters that would be cool to recall later)

    Variables are what you use when you want the story to remember something, and in your case you want the story to remember which item in a list was shown to the reader. 
    <<set $kingType to either("Mushroom", "Potato")>>
I am the <<print $kingType>> King

    I was hoping there was another answer :( There are about ten stages and each stage has five separate variations of things she could say... damned oracles!

    Thanks for the help though. can't shoot the messenger
