For St. Patrick's Day, rather than show you how to knit your own
leprechaun or make a
hat out of a ice cream container (because who the hell wants to do that), I'm going to help you with your after party cleanup. You'll have lots of bottle caps and wine corks lying about afterwards, so here are some ideas on what to do with them.

Hoodies, Baseball Caps and Ganja, Oh My Fresh from his
accountability moment, Tony Blair is tackling some of the thorniest
issues facing British society:
criminalising "hoodies" and baseball caps while keeping marijuana decriminalised (despite a
"get tough" pre-election stance). In the midst of a
moral panic, Blair recently came out in support of moves to ban the wearing of
hooded leisure tops in public, especially when coupled with the nefariously potent
symbol of evil: the baseball cap. Meanwhile, the committe whose recommendation resulted in the
Commons reclassification of cannabis in Britain to a Class C drug (a misdemeanour equivalent to possessing a prescription medication without a valid prescription) says it sees
no reason to reverse its decision, even as
Olympians are tarred and feathered. Meanwhile,
sales of verboten hoodies can only increase, while
cannabis becomes distinctly less cool.

Old soda caps sold by "the bottle cap man" provide a great web gallery of retro design. I wish I knew the histories of these obscure drinks. Warning: hundreds of thumbnail-sized pictures.
