According to the latest email regarding Lewiston parking bans, we’re due for a snowstorm on Wednesday (side note: does anyone else get their winter weather watch updates from the emails sent out about not being able to park on the street?). Where there’s snow, there’s a photo-op, i.e. Instagram content. As such, you’ll probably need a caption, and if the last 8 suggestions weren’t enough, here are a few more.

  1. Quote a celebrity (or, in some cases, do your best to capture whatever noises they’re making within the confines of the alphabet).
  2. Don’t put a caption there at all. Nothing. Just blank space, as clean and untouched as, well, the freshly-fallen snow.
  3. Use only punctuation marks. They’re all fair game: colons, semicolons, em-dashes, ampersands, asterisks, the list just goes on and on and on…
  4. Drop a hint about your upcoming album release.
  5. Random letters. Keyboard smash the heck out of your screen.
  6. Write down a recipe. What for? Cake, beef ragout, potions using the blood of your enemies. You know, the normal stuff.
  7. Announce your campaign for the presidency.
  8. Transcribe a court case verbatim.
  9. Declare war on the concept of social media, ironically ignoring the fact that this declaration is posted and shared via the same social media platforms you just claimed are ruining lives.
