Now pay very careful attention because in the run-up to Christmas, the rules of Sitting Tennant are going to change. Read on.
The competition to win the 2008 Sitting Tennant Awards is definitely hotting up, with Toby and Marie doing their best to out-caption each other and Rosby and Rullsenberg indulging in all out Google Image carnage on the picture front.
Today’s Sitting Tennants are the second from that big stack that Ms Rullsenberg sent me, and appears to be from his video diary, no doubt from when he was doing some ceiling painting; and some rare evidence from Ms Rosby that Mr Tennant can be swayed by the occasional brunette.
As a result, the Sitting Tennant picture competition table now stands as follows:
- Rullsenberg: 10.5
- Rosby: 9
- Persephone: 6.5
- Toby: 5
- Poly, Scott: 3.5
- Jane: 2.5
- Anna, Electric Dragon: 1.5
- Marie: 1
The Witty And Amusing Captions league table sees Toby matching and topping Marie’s burst of captioning to maintain his lead (will Marie now wait for Toby to caption to see if she can do one more than he?), Persephone edging closing to Rullsenberg and Electric Dragon finally pulling ahead of Rev:
- Toby: 29
- Marie: 26
- Jane Henry: 16
- Rullsenberg: 14
- Persephone: 13
- Electric Dragon: 7
- Rev: 5
- Stu_N: 2
- Poly, Andrea: 1
As always, captions and new submissions for the gallery, please. Remember, you can submit as many (witty) captions as you like for each and every picture, with topical captions getting extra marks – as do pictures of David Tennant in current productions.
The rule change
BUT, just to add a little bit of excitement, since there’ll be another advent Sitting Tennant tomorrow, only captions added before the next one goes up will count. And I’m not telling you when that’s going to happen, so you’re going to have to time it nicely.
Also, I will allocate double points to what I judge the wittiest caption of the day. So if it’s the wittiest and topical, it’ll get three points.
I can see I’m going to win a lot of friends with this new innovation. Let me know what you think of the rule changes – too much faff or a necessary adjustment?
The final Sitting Tennant of 2008 will be on December 23rd when the results will be announced.
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. You can also enter the witting and amusing captions league table by commenting on existing photos in the gallery.
