St. Patrick's Day may inspire you to pinch a friend or employ a terrible Irish accent, but don't let that impish green love fade. Geeky green goods such as these are always in season.
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE T-SHIRT
($14.99 to $15.99 at thinkgeek.com) You can just hear Charlton Heston wailing in your head with this wearable ode to the 1973 flick.
MOSS PENCIL
($7 for two at designboom.com)
A simple pencil covered with green flocking? Why, it's like a Chia Pet that writes.
HEAD OF ICEBERG LETTUCE SAFE
($99 at bimbambanana.com)
Piggy banks are far too obvious. What you need is a fake head of iceberg lettuce with a secret compartment to hide your greenbacks and other valuables. Stick it in the fridge and keep treasure safe and cool. And weird. Definitely weird.
ICONOCLASPS EMOTICONS PAPER CLIPS
($5.50 at shopfosters.com)
Clip paperwork and whatnot with emoticons, and it's like texting in 3D. Too :-0 huh?
