13 March 2012 Rob Buckley 4 Comments

Sister Chastity and Shilohforever's Sitting Tennant

Both Sister Chastity and Shilohforever had the same moment of inspiration this week so win 10 points each. Hopefully you won’t all be creeped out by it…

  1. Sister Chastity: 30
  2. Shilohforever: 20
  3. Hebbie: 10

Huh. I can’t help but notice that Rullsenberg was the only entrant this week. Naturally, 10 points and a great big well done to her, but where is everyone else? Are you all tired of captioning? Marie, Electric Dragon, Lisa G, Jane Henry, Virpi, theriverlady, Janice: where have you all gone? Is Sitting Tennant captioning nearing an end? Let me know!

  1. Rullsenberg: 20
  2. SK, Toby: 10

Good luck with this week’s captioning and picture-hunting everyone!

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 and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, 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.

Each month, I’ll name the best picture provider and best captioneer, and then at the end of the year, the overall champion will be announced for 2012!
