If you follow me on Twitter @SaturdayMorning (and you really should), you may have seen that last weekend I was pretty excited about a trip I was taking with my Mom. A few months ago we were on our way south and passed this building on the interstate, and I knew that someday I would go. I had visions of mile-long tables filled with 80s action figures, retro video games, and miscellaneous junk. The Most Awesome Flea Market in the World? How could this not be good?
As it turns out, the meaning of awesome varies a great deal depending on if you are a redneck or not.

Cadbury Mini Eggs
Mmm, Cadbury Mini Eggs…
I couldn’t care less about regular-type Cadbury Eggs. Simulating eating raw eggs isn’t one of my favorite pastimes, so I’ve always opted for the small, all chocolate eggs from Cadbury. If these were sold year round, I would probably never need M&Ms.

New Muppet viral video. Bunnies get eaten.
I haven’t posted any of the Muppet viral videos mainly because I didn’t think I needed to add another post to your RSS reader with the same video, but this one is weird and cool enough that I don’t care. Watch it three times.

I don’t know how much it comes through here on Saturday Morning Central, but I’m a huge Apple fan. Since way before it was even announced, I’ve been looking forward to getting an Apple iPad, and since it’s release is just days away, a lot of videos are starting to come in from app developers. I’m pretty sure that apps will make this more popular than the iPhone, but only time will tell.
In addition to the fact that Apple’s official iPad case looks like a Trapper Keeper sprayed black (please Mead, make some TK iPad cases!), there are a few retro apps on the horizon that warrant me posting this here. Enjoy!

If you grew up with the Nintendo Entertainment System like I did, I’m sure you wasted countless hours blowing into your games trying to get a few more levels of gameplay out of them when they were on the fritz. Usually that didn’t accomplish anything besides making you look like a dork, but now you can relive your old NES memories while playing the harmonica.
Some genius on Etsy has jammed some harmonicas into old NES cartridges, and should be rewarded for his amazing idea, so head over to his shop and buy one or two.
I think I speak for us all in saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?”
