Oh my god! I just realized that ferreted away in the boxes o' junk that fill my closet, there could quite possibly be one of those things in my room!:Q


If that's the case, anyone want to lay odds that I'm the only 23 year old on this board (planet?) who still owns a Trapper Keeper?:eek:

Funny episode

"Cartman: Hey, dudes! Check out my sweet Dawson's Creek Trapper Keeper Ultra Keeper Futura 2000! Yeah, well it's got ten different compartments for every subject in school, an electronic pencil sharpener, four plastic bags with electronic zippers, copy machine, fax, a better picture of Dawson's Creek on the back than Kyle's, flat-screen TV, and of course OnStar!"

Later on after the trapper keeper takes over the town, a cyborg that looks like Bill Cosby comes back in time from the year 2034 to destroy the trapper keeper.

That was the one! Hehehe, I hope you found the quote online somewhere and weren't reciting it from memory. :p

Oh Yeah Before JanPak and the sling over one arm fad-- the so-cool-you-have-to-have-it-backpack was? Anyone?




Drum Roll





The Bag, ][, ]I[. And I believe you could only pay out the nose for them from Sears. They did last forever too.

I had a bunch of them! I bought a new one every two years though middle and high school, and I still have the "Trapper XL" that I used in college. I'm 25, by the way.

I had a Trapper Keeper v1.0 in Elementary School and the XL model in Jr. Jigh.

:D

I think the v1 was just plain blue, and the XL had a car on it...or a motorcycle. I thought the sliding plastic 3 ring part was "radical"

Fads: Junior High was the OP, Pacific Highway stuff. Fur Shure. Gag me with a spoon!, Leather Jackets with a zillion zippers. I never got any of that stuff. It was Sears Specials for me....grrrr. I remember my first Reeboks. I was in High School :eek: Flea Market Adidas 0wns j00

High School fads were the Africa pendant thingy. The colors. Red, Yellow Green. Beepers.


College: I don't remember college...next!



:)

I am 27

I had at least one trapper keeper when in elementary school, can't remember it having any pictures. It was solid colors I believe. How old are these things anyway? My age: 30.

I had one in grade school, I believe it had some blue car on the front. Then our school banned them because they took up too much room in our desks.

Then we couldn't use pens, I can't remember the stupid reason for that, then they decided we couldn't use spiral notebooks either because the teachers didn't like them. Stupid dutch town. I'll be 19 soon.

I had one with a 3D-ish scene flying through columns. It looked like 3d rendered but that was before it was economical to actually 3D render something.

And I think you're thinking of slap bracelets. I think I had an I-Love-Jesus one.

I'm 21

That sounds sooo familiar. I must have had one. I'm 26, so I know they were out when I was younger. Those are the binders, right?

I had one with a lamborghini and I think a couple others throughout school. They don't allow those in most elementary schools anymore. I think the teachers hate the clicking noise.

I'm 18 by the way.
