I'd like to conjure up a random bit generator.
Just feed it a clock and have it generate random bits.
74HC... components preferred... I have most everything in that family

Whoopeee!!!
Right up my alley!
Do you want truly random or pseudorandom, and if pseudorandom how long
do you want the output to be before it repeats?

Square in Moscow?
Answer: Because every idiot bystander will be eager to give his
invaluable advice.
Here is my invaluable advice: make a ring of the odd number of
invertors, compute a logical function from this ring.
Pseudo-random is just fine. I just need it to test an
encoding/decoding chip design. A hundred bits or so before repeat
would be quite adequate. No security involved... just testing to be
sure of no decoding hiccups.
Take a binary counter, compute some ugly logical function from its output.

Vladimir, What's your definition of "ugly" ?:-)
