The Burn Notice goodie bag

At last! A competition for US readers of the blog. Those nice people over at the USA Network have a goodie bag to give away and they’d like me to decide who to give it to.

What’s in the Burn Notice goodie bag that makes this such a great prize?

  • Burn Notice Season 1 and Season 2 DVDs
  • A Burn Notice branded flashlight
  • A Burn Notice book: The End Game
  • A Burn Notice T-shirt

That’s not bad, huh?

First, stuff that USA Network would like me to point out:

Get ready to get BURNED! The #1 show on cable returns with all new episodes. Don’t miss Tyne Daly & Clayne Crawford guest-starring in the Burn Notice winter premiere – “A Dark Road” – airing Thursday, January 21 at 10/9C. Become a Fan on Facebook, Follow on Twitter, and visit the Official Site to play Covert Ops: Vegas Heist (beginning 1/21) for a chance to win an all-new Hyundai Genesis Coupe!

Second, the terms and conditions:

  • Open to U.S. Residents only
  • Entrants must be at least 18 yrs of age
  • The prize pack is valued at $100 and is provided by USA Network.

Third, how do you win the tote? Simply leave a comment below before next Monday 25th January – don’t forget your email address or else I won’t be able to contact you if you win. Using the power of the Internet’s random number generator, a winner will be randomly determined and announced on the blog on the 25th and I’ll get in touch with the person who won to find out where to send it to.

Simple, huh? And don’t miss the interview with Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless that I just posted.

Sitting Tennant

Friday’s Sitting Tennant (week 2, 2010)

David Tennant

It’s a joint winner in the picture competition this week, since both (more or less) Sabine and Sister Chastity provided this delightful treat for y’all. Thank them both kindly. Good luck to everyone next week!

  1. Toby, Sister Chastity: 20
  2. Sabine, Rullsenberg: 10

In the first caption competition of the year, oh dear God, what happened? Two people? Only two people captioning? Don’t you love him any more? At this rate, we’re going to have to phase out Sitting Tennant in favour of Sittings on Smith (in which various people sit on Matt Smith) – is that what you want?

Low entry rate aside, congratulations to Jane Henry, who gets 10 points for her caption, while Rullsenberg gets a very respectable five for taking part. Well done the both of you – he loves you best, you know.

  1. Jane Henry: 10
  2. Rullsenberg: 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.

Every photo displayed on Monday (one per person who sends one in) gets five points; the best pic in the stash each week will appear on Friday and get ten points.

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