I don't think I've seen a discussion like this and it seemed like it would be really fun and humorous, so here goes...
What are your favorite quotes from any Bonnaroo experiences? Including things your friends said, things the artists said, things the random guy walking by you said, absolutely anything.
My two favorites that I can remember are both courtesy of my friend Max... First there's "There are no roads in Bonnaroo except the one you take to get there." We have no idea what he meant by this. It sounds very profound until you think about it enough and realize it makes no sense. He insists that it made sense in context, but it really didn't. And then...I think it was sometime after the White Stripes show last year...I noticed that he had his shirt on backwards and I asked him why and he replied "Because I spilled something on the front of it and I didn't want to look at it."
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**
We were watching some wooks play and lose all their money at a 3 card monte stand. They all came over and congregrated in front of our camp site. "Dude, can I have some more money, I have got this game figured out" He had just lost $270 playing this game.
Not really a quote, but it was probably the funniest thing I saw there. I saw a guy last year dressed up like Jesus with a cross and all selling "Jehova's Whipits."

There's always someone looking to take advantage... Dumb assses.
This was my first Roo, let alone festival. So, I was a little confused. girl next to me with painted breasts: "Would you like a hit of this? me: "Sorry, I'm married. girl: "No, I mean this (handrolled cig).

I just thought of another good one...one day my group split up into two pairs, and the guy I was with and I went back to the tent at some point for something to eat. At that point we noticed his sunburn was blistering something awful (it got way worse too). Later the other two friends told us that they had come back to the tent after that and our neighbors said "your friends were here earlier...one was blistering and his girl was eating pasta." It was only made funnier by the fact that we're not dating, but I mostly like how now "blistering" is active...like "oh I think I'll go blister for a while."

My friend Casey and I were camped out waiting for some show and our peeps to show up, starving on like day 3 with little food. We start digging through our bags to see what we can scrounge up and she looks at me and starts laughing...."Man, I'm SO hungry and all I have to eat in here is this gonja ball!"
Mental note for the future, bring some foods that aren't "special". ;D

Not a pure quote, but a couple of years ago...some kid (18ish) wandered by our site and we asked
us: how's it going? him: Sh!@#y us: huh, whats wrong? him: I spent all night wandering around and I met this guy us: okay him: he invited me to hang out and I ended up naked in his tent us: what? huh? him: he put a blanket over my head, man it sucked. us: okay, do you want a beer
he wandered off and we actually saw him the next night in a little better shape.
My Buddy turned on his walkie at some point and started to listen when someone started to call repeatedly for her friend. My buddy finally jumped on and assumed the role of the friend she was trying to reach. He convinced her that he already had a ride back to Dallas on Sunday. Cruel but very funny at the time.

My 9yo son does this. Pretty creative, I think. Kind of like not brushing the hair on the back of your head 'cause you can't see it.
My favorite quote is from '06. Several groups of us were all camped together. Throughout the first night we kept hearing one of our friends yelling out "What the f*#k are these people doing in my tent?!" only to discover the next morning that he had passed out in the wrong tent. Classic 'Roo!!! Still ROFLMAO over this one.
