If we seem a little full of ourselves, swellheaded in fact, it's because we're marking the first anniversary of our wildly successful caption contest. One reader has suggested that Stacy Innerst has a book here, "The Best of Caption Contest," and who's to say this brilliant woman is wrong?

Every week our list of honored contestants is a combination of familiar names and first-timers, so you can be part of the fun, but you have to play to win. Send your extraordinarily funny caption to Page2@post-gazette.com or Portfolio, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 34 Blvd. of the Allies, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

Mark your submission "Caption Contest." Include your address and neighborhood or municipality. Deadline is midnight next Sunday, April 30. You may submit up to three entries per contest. Winners will be revealed in two weeks. They receive a copy of "Sports Town: A Look at the Famous Sports Pages of the Post-Gazette" or walking guides to Oakland and the South Side.

Now for the results of Caption Contest 25, which had an intellectual/motorcycle theme. We had a tie for first place and a repeat winner from last week in third. Our thanks to all our contestants for providing entertainment for all of us.
