right, emzara, have you found any of those chupacabra’s yet?
no? well that’s what we’ll go as then…..oh i don’t know…..a small bear with spines running down it’s back, nothing too noticeable
must remember to tick the ‘clean’ box; are betty and george definitely coming because we’ll stick out like a sore thumb if there’s only five of us?
japheth, we’ll need more shovels!
shem, look at these drawings; door or window?
ham, find fred and let him know we’re subbing this out to his lot
and can someone please tell me how long a bloody cubit is!

/ 18 May, 2012Love it…I was confused by the names until ‘and can someone please tell me how long a bloody cubit is!’ and it all clicked. Lovely stuff.

/ 18 May, 2012Though the title would have been a big clue too
sacha1nch1
/ 19 May, 2012yes……..yes it would……glad you got there in the end

Linda
/ 18 May, 2012Loved it. I wonder how much of the Ark Noah did in fact send out for sub-contracting? 🙂
‘ere be my attempt: http://womanontheedgeofreality.com/2012/05/18/friday-fictioneers-god-plays-the-tom-toms/
sacha1nch1
/ 19 May, 2012pretty much all of it if recent archaeological discoveries are to be believed
thanks for loving
Linda
/ 19 May, 2012Oooh, do you have a link to share to that perhaps?
sacha1nch1
/ 21 May, 2012absolutely i do; here it is

/ 18 May, 2012Haha, it took a little while. The formatting is a little strange(no quotes, etc.), but I love the idea . Here’s mine 🙂 http://kaitlinandmichaelbranch.com/2012/05/18/friday-fictioneers-3/#comments
sacha1nch1
/ 19 May, 2012the previous one had quotes…..i don’t like to make things easy; thank you for persevering and loving the idea

/ 19 May, 2012there have been sightings of the chupacabra but nothing concrete; i’d like to think they tricked god
glad you enjoyed it

dmmacilroy
/ 18 May, 2012An Ark contracted out to the lowest bidder. Wonder if that happened the first time around. Think what we might be missing in the animal kingdom. Lovely story told with tight, sparse dialog. Well done.
Aloha,
Doug

/ 19 May, 2012these are actual quotes from the time of the original ark….i found them etched into a rock at the bottom of my garden
Reading Pleasure
/ 18 May, 2012Ha ha ha! I love this take on the prompt. A modern day ark in the making. Noah would be turning in his grave or would he be tickled? Mine is here: http://readinpleasure.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/friday-fictioneers-sinking-low/
sacha1nch1
/ 19 May, 2012i think he might be annoyed that his secret is out; this is actually what happened you see
glad you liked it
TheOthers1
/ 18 May, 2012LOL. I mean, if you’re struggling to DIY, why not contract parts of it out. Noah only had so much time to get it done. 😉

/ 19 May, 2012i’ve heard god’s a pretty hard task master though, ‘not enough time,’ just don’t cut it
Sandra
/ 18 May, 2012Nice one, as usual. It’s the length from the elbow to the tip of the finger in case anyone was wondering. Convincing voice here, and as ever I learnt something new. Chupacabra means ‘goat sucker’. 😦 It’s as well they didn’t find any.

sacha1nch1
/ 19 May, 2012thank you….and i wouldn’t want to run into a goat sucker either!
theforgottenwife
/ 18 May, 2012Loved it! I work for the military and we subcontract out EVERYTHING! Nice to know we are honoring a long and storied tradition! 🙂 http://theforgottenwife.com/2012/05/17/friday-fictioneers-2/

/ 19 May, 2012thank you! do you guys still do the fighting though?
pouringmyartout
/ 18 May, 2012That was deliciously obscure. It took me a minute to figure it out. Then I remembered all those ‘who begat so and so’ parts of the bible, and I put it together with the title, and a light dawned.
sacha1nch1
/ 19 May, 2012i love reading how your mind puts stuff together……i can almost hear it ticking…..or is that i can hear it almost ticking….

/ 19 May, 2012There is a bomb in my cranium?
sacha1nch1
/ 20 May, 2012it’s the only logical explanation
erinleary
/ 18 May, 2012Love it! It took me a while to figure out it was Noah talking. The cubits clued me in.

/ 20 May, 2012glad you liked it; i do have a head start in that i know exactly what’s going on, but i think all the information’s there….

/ 19 May, 2012cubit? is that a hint to noah?
http://brainsnorts.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/friday-fictioneers-518-via-madison-woods/
sacha1nch1
/ 20 May, 2012there are a couple of hints to noah yes….it’s basically noah not really wanting to build the ark as it’s too much trouble so wants to subcontract it out to fred’s lot; but he may get in to trouble with god for shirking, so is going through the list of animals he’s been given for one that can’t be found, he’ll then get his wife to make them all costumes of the ‘missing’ animal – ticking the ‘clean’ box as seven of each clean animal were taken on the ark – and they’ll stow aboard that way…..true story
rich
/ 20 May, 2012are you old enough to have heard the bill cosby routine about noah and the ark?
sacha1nch1
/ 20 May, 2012i used to watch the cosby show when i was younger but i’ve never seen any of his stand up
rich
/ 20 May, 2012yeah, this was 70’s stuff.
sacha1nch1
/ 20 May, 2012i’ll definitely try and track it down, just as soon as i can get to a computer that has sound
