Bloody Nora! We're nearly at the end of February already!
Anyway, back to Six Sunday. Remember, you can find over 100 fellow writers and their snippets by following this link.
Last week, Bob the archaelogist alien was reminiscing about a lost love. This week, we skip forward a bit in the story.
Bob and Qez left after we'd arranged to meet them in the foyer in an hour's time. Tim and I still had to finish this huge breakfast, and slip into something more appropriate for exploring caverns. I mean, a bikini top and knee-length skirt doth not an archaeologist make. And that was just Tim! I jest, of course. He would never wear a skirt that long.
Hmm, not sure if the "doth not.." line works but, what the hey, it's just the first draft!
And now for something completely different: Father Dougal McGuire!

LOL If he's wearing that, what is the other character wearing? Great six!
ReplyDeleteThe 'doth not' bit made me smile so I'd leave it in. Good reader reaction. Great six!
ReplyDeleteI like her inner monologuing and of course I love Father Ted!
ReplyDeleteI like it in context with the rest of the sentence. And also with your word choice "jest".
ReplyDeleteVery funny!
I'm liking Tim -- he's an individual! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Intriguing snippet and attire for an archaeologist. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLol - skimpy clothes worked for Lara Croft :) Nice six
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun six...and I liked the doth line :)
ReplyDeleteLike a lot! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLOL! great double punchline with finding out it was Tim she was describing, and then finding out about his skirt length preference.... Anyway, I think the doth line works...
ReplyDelete(FYI-blogspot has a kink in their code that doesn't show the Captcha code for WordPress users, so I can't log in that way and then have to try alternatives....)
That pic at the end had me laughing and yes the doth line works cause you'r making fun of the orginal Love the humour
ReplyDeleteEverything's better with a Father Ted reference! Very funny stuff -- your six, that is. It doth make me laugh.

ReplyDeleteHa, a Monty Python fan. Love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat six! It makes me wonder what Quality was wearing :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Probably not what I'd wear exploring either, but it would be an interesting choice. And then, if there was water (like an underground lake like in Harry Potter) and she needed to make a sudden swim, she'd be ready.
