Welcome back to another installment of Insert Caption -- our imaginary award-winning weekly contest in which you won't lose friends and alienate people, but you will walk away with some cool prizes (assuming you make us laugh, like, a lot). Last week we snuggled up next to Richard Gere, Diane Lane and a big box of tissues in preparation for their new flick Nights in Rodanthe, based on the Nicholas Sparks novel. Congrats to our three winners who all somehow managed to write their captions without shedding even one tear.

1. We've secretly replaced this couple's '94 Zinfandel with new Folger's Crystals. Let's see if they notice. -- Kurt P.

2. "Don't look now but there is a couple who looks exactly like us in the next room." -- Frank T.

3. "I'm going to be honest. You looked better on MySpace." -- Kyle S.

This week we're losing friends and alienating a whole bunch of people while celebrating a new film called -- wait for it -- How to Lose Friends and Alienate People. In the flick, Simon Pegg stars as a British writer who bumbles and fumbles his way through a new gig at a high-profile magazine in New York City. Megan Fox, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges and Kirsten Dunst round out the cast. The folks behind our three favorite captions this week will take away one very cool How to Lose Friends and Alienate People poster signed by the man himself, Simon Pegg. Go for it ...
