http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=images&imgsz=all&imgc=&vf=all&va=pea+shoots&fr=ybr_sbc&ei=UTF-8 for the pictures of them....most big grocery stores will have them but if not a health food store, a farmers market, or call a local chinese restaraunt and ask them where they get theirs, they tend to find the best around.

Pea Shoots
WHAT? Trendy tendrils. Long used in Chinese cooking, pea shoots are just beginning to find popularity on menus in this country. The pretty green tendrils, actually the leaves and shoots of the young pea plant, are a spring delicacy in China. Pea shoots, called dau miu in their native land, may be grown from a variety of pea plants but are traditionally culled from immature snow peas. Lee Jones, who grows them at his farm in Ohio (and who has experimented with 27 varieties), says his father considers the whole thing a puzzlement. "He's an old-time farmer--you grow the peas for the peas and the corn for the corn. We harvest them at three or four inches, and he just shakes his head." Pea shoots are sweet, tender, and have a strong pea taste. You cook them as you might any green--very quickly in hot oil with, perhaps, salt, garlic, and a splash of sherry or rice wine.

Hee hee hee! Ain't had one of them toys in years! It's a peashooter or beanshooter, doll. It consists of a sturdy plastic straw. You put a pea or small bean in the end, put that end in your mouth, and blow hard. Shoots the pea or bean several yards. Can be used to annoy the heck out of your teacher or earn a good whippin' out of yer old man!
