Dick Heads

Dick Heads (from Jane Henry and DMW): Robin Hood and BHS

Richard Armitage in Robin Hood

Two more Dick Heads for you this week, one from DMW that’s clearly from the BHS catalogue and another from Jane Henry from Robin Hood, but sent via The Kids in The Hall, judging by its size.

Captions, haiku or anything else Richard Armitage’s head inspires in you and can be set down in writing, please.

Got a picture of Richard Armitage’s head, preferably wearing a hat? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Dick Heads” gallery.

Zoeey Deschanel does Katy Perry

Don’t you love Zoeey Deschanel, the better Deschanel sister (the other, unforgivably, starring in Bones)? She was great in Elf and Frasier, for example, and was one of the few good things about the movie version of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. She’s also a singer and for some reason the American cotton industry has hired her to promote their wares, which she’s done by pretending to be Katy Perry.

Spooky, isn’t it? [via]

Sitting Tennant

Today’s Sitting Tennants (from Rullsenberg, Jaradel and Sister Chastity)

David Tennant in Planet of the Dead

David Tennant on BBC News

Ta da. As if by magic, Sitting Tennant appeared. What costumes will he be wearing today?

In Ms Rullsenberg’s entry, he appears to be wearing a bear costume, so clearly getting ready for a circus adventure then. In Ms Jaradel’s entry, he’s wearing the world-recognised uniform of a ‘micro-tiddlywinks’ player, complete with high-powered magnifying spectacles. While in Sister Chastity’s (welcome back! I do hope your period of penance is over) photo, he’s clearly trying to be a journalist – note the "pulled through a hedge backwards look" and the fake BBC News logo for verisimilitude.

With a bonus half-point to Jaradel for topicality (final week for Planet of the Dead topicality bonuses), that gives us the following leader board

  1. Rullsenberg: 17.5
  2. Jaradel: 14.5
  3. Sister Chastity: 12.5
  4. Rosby: 2.5

At witty caption central, it was an age of firsts. Marie finally got a bonus Gary Numan caption point (if at first you don’t succeed, etc), Jaradel got her first wittiest caption point for picture 1, jointly with Toby, who, in another first, also got the wittiest caption point for picture 2. Which means, once again, that Toby and Marie swap places at the top. It’s a true clash of titans, although hopefully not Clash of the Titans.

  1. Toby: 82
  2. Marie: 80
  3. Jane Henry: 50.5
  4. Rullsenberg: 45.5
  5. Persephone: 38.5
  6. Jaradel: 33.5
  7. Electric Dragon: 15
  8. Rev/Views 10
  9. Scott: 3
  10. Aaron: 2
  11. almostwitty.com: 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. And there’s a bonus point for using Gary Numan lyrics appropriately.

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.
