I have a few good ones from Dale, who I watched some of Bootsy and all of Buffalo Springfield with before he disappeared into the nether...
the best one was: Dale: "I feel like I'm tripping but I haven't done any acid in a few days" me: "you might be having a flashback" Dale: "I don't know. I feel this way off and on sometimes lately. usually when I'm tired. I can actually make myself feel like I'm tripping"
(during our whole time together he was alternately sipping from a bottle of Evan Williams and A bottle of Jack)
gotta love him.
I remember Dale saying something like "I feel like I've taken five hits of acid today"... and then you said "Well, have you?"

yeah I remember that too now that you mention it. the conversation that I mentioned took place at Buffalo Springfield about 5 minutes before he bellowed out "FREE BIRD"
Me: It's pretty sad I have to eat corn to be happy. Popsicle Sarah : It's sad i have to drink to be happy, so we're in the same boat. Me: You're drunk? I didn't know that. Popsicle Sarah : I'm drunk off my ass. Me: I guess that's how we ended up at the wrong stage.
sitting in the camp early in the morning after the Eminem set: "come on everybody , put your fans in the air... put your mutha quackin fans in the air"
during Sissor Sisters (as the disco Jesus walked in front of us) my friend yells in a somewhat startled voice "Jesus Christ!!!"
early in the pre-dawn camp a dude dances, skips and sings his way past the tents. A couple of minutes later his buddy comes walking by mumbling "I need to get a quackin leash"
shopper heading back to camp: "Has anybody seen Molly"? answer: "Yeah, but I think there is a cannibal out there"
During Arcade Fire after every song, "Alright, the next one HAS to be Wake Up, it's their only good song." When the four songs he said that about weren't Wake Up... "Screw this, let's go to bassnectar (pronounced like the fish bass) he's way better."
Emoney serves more of a purpose than any of you, especially Nate, whose incessant, garbled ramblings are so mindless and pointless that I get depressed just seeing them.
I think it was Saturday night before Ray Lamontage, a dude who was clearly quacked up was flailing around and kept sprawling out on the ground. His friend started yelling "Man I don't want to babysit you, I wanna get quacked up too!". Messed up guy finally stands up, looks around and says "There's so many people!" and throws himself on ground, in an indian style positon but with his head on the ground and his arm all twisted up in front of him. When a group of people walked by and questioned about the guy's well-being, his friend said "He's just resting, this is his resting position". I couldn't stop laughing.
During Buffalo Springfield they cleared the VIP bleachers due to lightning. While we were hanging out waiting to get back on them a guy came up and melted down at the poor high school security guy who was stressed out enough telling all these people his parents' age to move along. The guy was screaming about paying all this money, he wasn't safe, why isn't security doing anything, on and on. We thought somebody had a weapon or something in the crowd. But he was mad about the green lasers. "If I get blinded I'm going to sue!"
During Arcade Fire after every song, "Alright, the next one HAS to be Wake Up, it's their only good song." When the four songs he said that about weren't Wake Up... "Screw this, let's go to bassnectar (pronounced like the fish bass) he's way better."
I feel like you would have been completely justified in turning around and kicking this person in the taint.
I did enjoy hearing people argue with the jesus pushers on the way in.
One guy walking near us turned down the pamphlet being offered to him with a "No thanks, I already have toilet paper." And then when he got up to the guy with the sign about rock'n'rollers being satan worshippers (or something like that) he proceeded to ask the guy about a long list of musicians, having the guy confirm that each of them was indeed a satan worshipper. I heard "What about Johnny Cash?"
Me, after taking a pic of a couple: "I'll take another one in case you blinked." They had sunglasses on, so the blinking wouldn't have mattered.. my friends still haven't let me live that one down.
A friend to me: "You DO have an accent. I just wish I didn't have to hear it in "There's toilet paper in the bag if you have to poop!""
My sister: "you're gonna make me bonna-ralph!"
Some guy walking next to me where the ground was cracking: "I'm breaking the ground! I feel like Superman! I'm a T-Rex! RRROOOOAARRRRR!"
A guy walked out of the toilets stretching, and my sis asked if he was going for a high five. He gave her one, so I went back and got one too. He said "Aww come here!", grabbed my face, and kissed my lips. Definitely a "This isn't real life/I never want to leave" moment for me.
My friend, about the sulfur water on Sunday: "This water doesn't just taste like eggs.. it tastes like eggs shed straight from an ovary, 3 days rotten."
Some girls to The Head and The Heart during their show at the Solar Stage: "You're good!" It seriously cracked us up.. so we started saying "You're decent! You're meh!"

Oh, thought of another one. We were walking over that one section of weird squishy/bouncy ground (I really hope you guys know what I mean by that) and we were having fun bouncing on it and a few other people stopped to bounce with us. And then after a few moments of bouncing one guy suddenly said "Wait, what the quack?" I just loved the delayed reaction as the situation sunk in.
I totally just remembered this at work today. I was describing the String Cheese Incident madness to some random guy on Sunday. Told them they had a T-Rex flying over the crowd. He responded with "like a real one?"
I know he meant like one from Jurassic Park or something, but it was just hilarious to me. That would be pretty impressive for Bonnaroo to book a dinosaur that has been extinct for 60 million years.
I also met those australian fellows, they said they were there for j.cole of all people, my buddy introduced himself during a smoking session as the big man. Dude said he had a buddy he called big mon. Big mon got up and was a giant. Made big man look small.
"I never bought into the Native American mythology. You can smoke a peace pipe 'til your dick falls off, but I'm not dancin' with any fuckin' wolves no matter how high I get. Not that I get high, but if I did, my shit would still believe in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." -kenny powers
This was actually post-Bonnaroo when I was going over with my friends what concerts we saw:
Friend: then we saw lil Wayne Me: we so did not see lil Wayne, what are you talking about? Friend: Ya we did. As soon as we got there you ate a bunch of corn said, "I want a snack" then disappeared for half an hour Me: oh...

While I was at STS9 a guy comes up to me and we have a short convo.
Guy: You look like that guy from The Hangover. Zach ???? Me: Zach Galifianakis? Guy: Yea, that's him, have you ever heard that before? Me: No, sure haven't. Guy: You're not are you? Me: Nope, sorry to disappoint you
My favorite was Dude at camp next to us talking to a local girl that had been up all night and wasn't really responding to him "Are you going to make it to your 5 o'clock shift at Sonic?" (The fast food restaurant ) She ended up being fine, but a little weird.
I think that was at my camp. My friend met this local girl who had to work at sonic at 5 pm after being up all night. Where were you camped?
Ramdom red necks during primus: Guy one "I dunno but they did the song to south park if that lets you know how crazy they are" Guy two -ahuck ahuck "yeah lets get fucked up these boys gonna be crazy"
Ramdon girls "Dana you just don't get it. We only have downers. We need uppers. Hence the problem"
Other random girl "I wasn't mad at her for dateing I was mad at her for fucking a turtle farmer from Mississippi."
My husband also thought a pod balloon was the moon...or maybe that was us? Guy walking over the filth river "if I could backflip, I would totally backflip over this"
Guy in grassskirt to girl walking by with glowsticks "Hey, get over here I'm gonna teach you how to glowstick" Girl "I already know how" Guy "no, you don't, you obviously don't He also offered me his best advice...to wear shoes, he was barefoot.
I was walking back to day parking, and this guy thought a Pod balloon was the moon. His friend explained that the moon would not have a +6 on it.
Hahahah. I totally thought that the POD 1 balloon was the moon the first night for about 2 min. And at some point everyone in our camp thought it was the moon too. We started calling it the malloon.

Guy runs up to show me something as I'm walking around: "Dude, I just found this on the ground. It's gonna be sooooo awesome smoking this!"
While waiting for Arcade Fire, my friend and I sat down with a bunch of strangers. As time passed, my friend soon found himself in a very uncofortable position, to the point where he was essentially in a prison of standing legs. One of the other people sitting with us commented, "Isn't that uncomfortable?" My friend's response was "Well, it's better than standing!" We then took the joke to ridiculous levels, such as "He's dead? Well, it's better than standing!"
In the line to get into Centeroo, a group of people walked by singing the ABC's.

thought of a couple more:
we stopped at wal-mart right before heading to the farm and an old woman who worked there could tell we were on our way to bonnaroo old woman: "stay hydrated girls. remember: water, water, water. cause i know all you kids are thinkin is beer, beer, beer."
then when our car was getting searched we had to lie to the woman questioning us because we are slightly underage woman: "you girls got any liquor?" us: "no" woman: "how about beer?" us: "nope" woman: "no liquor or beer? what's wrong with you girls?!"
