Trapper Keepers [Mike Kelsey]
I am super excited about Frontline Summer School coming up in June. For those that weren’t at Frontline last night, that’s our first ever Summer Retreat!! Yep, that’s right. We’re headed to the beach for an intense yet fun time of spiritual renewal.
I’m excited about digging through an entire book of the Bible together in one weekend. I’m excited about spending time in prayer and worship together. I’m excited about the beach! But something I said in announcements last night got me SUPER excited. Think school….think school supplies….think 80s…..Yep……
…..TRAPPER KEEPERS!!
Ok, calm down. It’s a dreary Monday and all of a sudden the memory of Trapper Keepers is giving you new meaning in life. Yes, we all feel the same way. God was especially good to our generation. School Supplies just aren’t what they used to be. (Five Star Notebooks? Who needs ‘em?)
For those of you who have no idea what a Trapper Keeper is, first of all, you’re probably too young to be attending Frontline. But so you won’t feel left out, I came across this A-MAZING commercial:
If that doesn’t brighten your day, I don’t know what else will. (Sidebar: Who was genius enough to think “Ohhh, the Trapper Keeper commercial is on!! I have to record it!!” This isn’t TiVo guys. This is straight VHS. Now, that’s dedication!)
Coolness requires so much these days. Don’t you wish you could go back to the days when the standard of cool was determined by your school supplies? Let’s not even talk about your lunch box and thermos! Oh gosh, THE THERMOS!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!
By the way, if you’re a bit bitter, like me, that Trapper Keepers went extinct, I’m happy to announce that they’re back with a vengeance. Introducing the new and allegedly improved Trapper Keeper. You’ll have to make your own judgment.
Ok, it’s like 1am now and I really need to go to sleep. Needless to say, I can’t wait for the Summer Retreat.

Ok it is official - I spoke to a leading psychologist and he said based on the contents of this blog the author has LHM*.
When someone has LHM it appears that they lose track of time and desire the things of the past. They appear to can't sleep (indicated by him being up at 1 am on a Sunday night writing a blog?), they have flashbacks (c'mon the 80's? - yikes), and appear delirious (who get's excited about summer school?) based on those facts I believe it imperative for the Frontline staff to have Mike Kelsey admitted at ONCE! - Mike you are too much. :)

After much thought and consideration, I think that all the retreat materials should be delivered to attendees IN a trapper keeper, and we should all get TMNT thermos' as the water bottles this year.
Anyone second that?

Nice! I really loved my Trapper Keepers, and as a consequence I am fanatical about organization tools - even to this day!
BTW, I'd like to put my bid in for a nice Members Only jacket. Maybe an exclusive reproduced version for the Summer Retreat??... (oh, yeah baby!)
I second that
I can't remember the last time I said "Wow, that's neat" to a girl.
Family Ties called. They want their commercial back.
So you have my lunchbox! I want it back.
