Today’s Sitting Tennants: A new regime begins today

Jaradel's Sitting Tennant

Rullsenberg's Sitting Tennant

Sister Chastity's Sitting Tennant

Where was Sitting Tennant on Friday, I hear you ask? Well, I don’t actually. No one seemed to notice it wasn’t there. In fact, the last Sitting Tennant only got six comments. Oh dear. I’m sensing burn out. I’m sensing ennui. I’m sensing… Summer.

So after some random idea bouncing on Twitter, here’s the new plan: bi-weekly Sitting Tennant. On Monday, a simple selection of Tennants in a sitting position, one from each contributor, to replace Dick Heads, which, let’s face it, even Armitage’s Army couldn’t be bothered with, really.

These Sitting Tennants will purely be for enjoyment, so no captions please, unless you feel inspired, since they won’t contribute to your points.

Then on Friday, the best pic from the current stash will go up by itself. That one will be for captioning purposes as well. I’ll be mulling over the points system, but since the inspiration/bonus points thing didn’t seem to be too inspiring, and the new system should do away with the need to some extent, I might well be phasing out the dead wood. How about simply 10 points for the best caption, with as many attempts as you like?

Let me know what you think.

Until then, have some pictures of David Tennant sitting down. Here’s the picture board:

  1. Rullsenberg: 23.5
  2. Sister Chastity: 20.5
  3. Jaradel: 19.5
  4. Rosby: 2.5
  5. Persephone: 1

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.
