Today’s Sitting Tennants (from Jaradel): Glastonbury

Today’s Sitting Tennant comes from new arrival Jaradel – there’d be one from Ms Rullsenberg too only unforgivably I left it at home, so we might have a bonus ST next week. Thanks, Jaradel, and welcome to Sitting Tennant! That means she is now the leader of Sitting Tennant 2009’s picture competition, with one point to her name.

Jardel’s picture is from Glastonbury, apparently, and it’s either supposed to indicate what David Tennant looks like when he gets out of bed in the morning or it’s an indication that he’d quite like to be a New Age shaman, given half a chance. It’s not definite whether he’s sitting or not, but I think if we all imagine his bottom, it’s clear that he is.

The first Sitting Tennant of 2009 provoked an onslaught of witty and amusing captions. Most entertaining was Aaron’s, clearly a man who has looked into the abyss himself, so he gets double points. Incidentally, I must unfortunately declare that references to back problems are no longer topical so don’t get an extra half mark – sorry, but his back’s fine now.

That means the scoreboard now stands as follows (assuming I can count straight):

  1. Marie, Jane Henry, Aaron, Toby: 2
  2. Rev/Views, Persephone, Rullsenberg, Jaradel: 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 (and pictures of David Tennant in current productions) getting extra marks. The wittiest caption for each picture will get double points.

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.
