Do not let a crucial Steelers Sunday and (dare we hope) a crucial Steelers week get in the way of your shot at a prize. Send your prize-winning caption for Stacy Innerst's topical drawing 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, Jan. 22. Results will be revealed in two weeks. You may submit up to three entries per contest.
Now for the results of Caption Contest 18, which had many of you punning with eggs scrambled, easy over or left on your face. Still, just to show it's not pun-averse, our panel did go for some non-egg puns. Our winners receive a copy of "Sports Town: A Look at the Famous Sports Pages of the Post-Gazette."
