The EXCUSE Game

[Ambrosia]

I wish I could, but the cows are currently on a library tour.

Could someone get me some apples?

[Nocturne]

I would, but the worms ate them first.

Can someone get me front row sears to the Duke game tonight?

[Tuvoria]

I would but the Count got to him first.

Can someone get me backstage tickets to the Rolling Stones?

[Nocturne]

I would, but they sold out. How about back row seats for Pebbles instead?

Can someone get me a new set of armor?

[Belle]

I would, but then that would mean spending money.

Can someone get me tickets to the Celtic Woman concert in Florida this month?

[Rannek]

I would, but that would also mean spending money.

Can someone cure me of my cold/flu?

[Nocturne]

I could, but medicine also means spending money.

Could someone study the books and put the knowledge in my head?

[Belle]

I could, but as I am lazy, you would be lucky if I even read the books.

I am totally craving some salted caramel core icecream by Ben & Jerry's right now and a massive chicken burrito. Will someone go get some for me?

[Nocturne]

I would, but I've never heard of such things, kitten, so you're out of luck. Try asking for cream instead.

Would someone bring me a shepard's pie? Food talk made me hungry.

[Belle]

*sighs* I remember some things being whispered, and they sounded rather yummy. Apparently you take chicken and roll it up in some sort of flat bread.

*drools*

Oooo... Shephard's pie...

Ahem... I would but, sadly, I ate it... and I'm still hungry.

Would someone feed me? I honestly have no idea why, but I want pickled eggs and cream and... cabbage with some sort of cheese. Oh my... that sounds so yummy right now...
