Back in the Game: Washington Post Style Invitational, Week 1286

Click image to enlarge.

I started contributing to the Washington Post's weekly Style Invitational in 1999, when I lived in Virginia and got the Post every weekend.

Every week brought a different competition, usually some sort of wordplay.

I was a weekly contributor, had a lot of entries published and even won a first place trophy. I moved to Illinois in 2002, couldn't get the Post and fell out of the Style Invitational habit. 

Of course, it's online now, and once in a while I jump back in. This week I hit the perfecta, two winners in one competition:
Substitute the letter "P" for any letter in a word or phrase and define the result.
Whatever "it" is, I guess I've still got it.
