OK, all you smartypants out there. "Dogbutt" was way too easy, so we have something a little tougher here. Although, if you speak the language, you might be able to guess this one. I got the object when I lived in San Francisco. So what do you think it is?
Now to another subject. Two or three years ago, my dear sweet daughter-in-law with red hair borrowed our Saturn and ran over a jackrabbit coming home. (She did not borrow the car just to commit harecide, but that's what happened.) The impact cracked the plastic grillwork under the front bumper. After several months, pieces started falling off the grill and it sagged more and more. Today the whole bumper assembly was listing to port when I came home. So I got out some tools and took the danged thing off (the "danged thing" being the front bumper fascia). I used baling wire to fasten the side turn signal lights to the structure right in front of the tires and to hang the license plate on the bumper support. Yeah, it looks reeeeeeally classy.
There is an auto salvage yard several blocks from our house and I have already emailed them to see if they have the right replacement part. Of course, if they do, who knows what color it will be. I'll take a picture.

If you lived in Louisiana, you would not have to worry about hanging the front license plate. We only have to have plates on our rears! Good luck finding a replacement bumper cover.
I sm not going to guess what this is. I am going to wait patiently and see what everybody else says.
I am SO proud of you! Baling wire! You ARE a Texan!!
And harecide....*snickers*
My guess is....
A McDonald's fry package from another country.
Those jackrabbits are insanely big!! Anyone seen the movie "Night of the Lepus"? It ain't just fiction anymore.
Jackson is the king of salvage yards - if you don't have any luck here, give him a call.
I like the picture, but I have no clue. Looks like a silk T-Shirt with a snarky saying in another language.
That bunny deserved it ... Dadgum jackrabbits, they're everywhere. And they just stare at you when you're playing golf. Your ball can land right beside them and they don't even move. They dare you to try and hit it again.
... anyway, my guess is a tapestry of some sort.
No cloth, no MacD. But it is a foreign language.
No luck so far with the bumper cover. I guess I am going to have to look in Big Flat city to the south. Maybe I can find something on the internet. Maybe Tom and Ray's site would help. Maybe I will just drive around looking like white trash for a while.
Go for the white trash look ... it's fun. I tried it with my little pickup. I could park anywhere, leave the windows down (well, before they broke and wouldn't roll down anymore) and leave it running and I didn't have to worry about it. I miss that truck.
...if it's not cloth, then I'm going for a coffee mug or vase of some sort.
almost looks like Arabic writing??
A book of Arabic receipies!
Car talk rocks.
White trashiness is contagious.
Hey, Little David--since you've classed up your act, you and your Saturn can come back to SC for a visit. Everybody 'round here will know you for a homeboy! Yee haw....
It's not Arabic. Try 13 N 105 E.
Ok, so its a Cambodian Car Repair Manual.
No, a box for tea.
Actually, Rachel was closer with the car repair manual: it IS a book and it is Cambodian. Now you have to think about me. What kind of Cambodian book would I have?
A Bibel?
Sorry, that's Bible.
