Month: September 2010

The long wait is over. August is done. The Sitting Tennant caption competition resumes. Well done for surviving a whole month without a new captionable picture. This is the stuff of legends, I tell you.

The first captionable Sitting Tennant of September has been provided by Erin C – well done to you Erin: have 10 points.

1. Erin C: 220
2. Rullsenberg, Sister Chastity: 210
3. Toby: 145
4. Rachel: 90
5. Sabine: 65
6. Karen: 35
7. dreamer-easy: 30
8. Dawn: 10
9. kellyann06: 5

But in caption land, something was up. There were three pictures to caption so three lots of 10 points to hand out. Yet despite having a month to caption the pics and a choice to work with, only two people entered. What happened, people? Is the inspiration missing? Are you all burnt out? Don’t tell me we’re going to have to start putting in ones where he’s… standing up.

Whatever the reason for your absence – and let’s all hope it was “Being waylaid by an army of David Tennant clones” or even “I was sunning myself on a beach and not bothering with the Internet”, both of which are mighty fine and sensible excuses not to be taking part – let it be known that I hereby hand out a mighty 10 points to both Marie and Rullsenberg for their captions for picture 1 and an even mightier 20 points to Marie for her captions on pictures 2 and 3 – which nicely completes her little Chariots of Fire sprint to recapture the (joint) lead after her absence earlier.

Well done Marie – and best of luck to everyone this week!

UPDATE: My linking to the wrong ST on Friday might have something to do with the reduced caption count. Apologies to Toby and SK and anyone else who went to the wrong place. I’ve updated the scores below.

1. Marie, Rullsenberg: 175
2. Electric Dragon: 160
3. Toby: 145
4. Dani: 75
5. Jane Henry, SK: 70
6. ecg: 50
7. Rachel: 45
8. Sabine: 25
9. whogal: 20
10. kellyann06, Sister Chastity, Alex, Paul Ebbs: 10
11. George, Joe B: 5

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.
