Narrative:
Attempted to apply power for takeoff and received confign warning caused by the flaps being in the up position. We cleared the runway. We were distraction when off the gate by a communication regarding the weight and balance and then by navigating a circuitous, unusual taxi route followed by a long delay for takeoff. We failed to complete the initial portion of the takeoff checklist and failed to lower the flaps. We were distraction during those portions of the taxi when the takeoff checklist is normally performed and once outside that window we failed to notice our omission.
