What about my topicality bonus?

]]> 4607@http://www.the-medium-is-not-enough.com/#c27384 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:22:07 +00:00 Comment from MediumRob I'll leave that up to the gallery: who thinks Electric Dragon's comment ("So you see, that's why the Fed's zero-interest rate policy, combined with quantitative easing, is such a bad idea. Hey, where are you going?") was topical in the intended spirit of Sitting Tennant? We'll tally the votes for and against and if people think it's topical, you can have an extra half point tomorrow.

And they dropped one of the apples too hard, and so that's what I'm doing here in heaven now. And heaven is a better place for it.

Also: you weren't specific about the nature of the topicality required, so I think give the Dragon his points.

Whilst singing his inimitable version of "Karma Chameleon", David Tennant meshes in with his surroundings...

I figure if I totally fail to get a caption, that it's probably topical, so I say Electric Dragon's caption probably counts. (I hasten to add that I get most of Electric Dragon's captions and find them very witty...)

or

In order to drum up box office sales for his one-man show as author Tom Wolfe, David Tennant has changed the name of the show to "Bonfire Of The Vashta Nerada".

or

No matter how many regenerations he's gone through, a Time Lord is never too old for a Gallifreyan First Holy Communion.

Act 2, Scene 4
(The Tobiobian Folio)

ISABELLA
I know your virtue hath a licence in't,
Which seems a little fouler than it is,
To pluck on others.

ANGELO
Believe me, on mine honour,
My words express my purpose
And I speak them thus - Oh! Most merrily.
Canst I do it? Fucketh, yea verily!

[That's a gimmee - for the tally only, not for any other consideration. I didn't want to trade on using the same joke twice, but I couldn't resist.]

Following his bite of the poisoned apple, the Doctor's right hand remains completely normal, but the left starts regenerating into something seriously unpleasant...

or (courtesy of the 12 year old who has just discovered Sitting Tennant to her bewilderment)

I know I have some strange fans out there on the interweb, but why are a bunch of normally intelligent adults writing silly captions based on me sitting down at the behest of a totally insane motivational speaker type person???

Oh and Electric Dragon for the points.

And though it's not very competitive of me, I do think Toby deserves extra marks for that Shakespeare quote.

]]> 4607@http://www.the-medium-is-not-enough.com/#c27398 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:55:29 +00:00 Comment from Electric Dragon a) BBC finally release unseen pilot of "Randall and Doctor (Deceased)".


b) Tennant wondered who had superglued his hand to his chin.
