CapCon 304 allowed readers a cozy moment in their childhood memories of nursery rhymes (which can be scary — Humpty Dumpty probably died from that fall off the wall, right? Apologies if you suffered a traumatic memory recovery).
CapCon305 is suitable for the playoff season ahead of all Steelers fans. Send up to three caption possibilities, either via email to page2@post-gazette.com or by real mail to Caption Contest/Portfolio, Post-Gazette, 358 North Shore Drive, Suite 300, Pittsburgh, Pa. 15212. Include name and address and identify your municipality or Pittsburgh city neighborhood. Entries must be received by midnight Sunday Jan. 8. Winners shall get a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette coffee mug that, should it fall from a wall, be put back together again with glue.
