JR's Why Don't You Title It? Found Art Naming Contest: Google God

Mona Lisa, The Scream, The Thinker, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living -- famous works of art all captioned and hanging out in some museum. But what about the foundlings? The little gems of visual curiosity we see around us everyday. What are their names? Huh? Wonder no more.

Jackalope Ranch invites you to title these no-name (yet) wonders that make our eyeballs freak out. Leave your caption in the comments. The winner will receive a special mention in next week's post. What? We said, special.

Got your own creative come-across? Send a PDF of your took-it-myself photo to [email protected] with the location. Must be in Arizona. No dirty stuff.

Who took the title for last week's artistic foundling?
Find out after the jump.

Last Week's "Why Don't You Title It" Winner: R4-XS

Thanks to Dave Mapley for the submission. Ahem, the only submission.

His explanation:
It looks like a trash container, so it's use is for (R4) removal of excess (XS) material aka trash, refuse, rubbish...etc.

Well, there you go.
