One gal talking to her friend as they walked down Bushy Branch one afternoon.. one of them was topless: "I mean, I'm ready to fart, but he says our relationship can't handle it yet"
We're all set up in accessible camping on Thursday afternoon and the 3 shadiest dudes of roo pull in driving a minivan from Georgia. Immediately get out, change into tiedyes and start breaking something up, each stuffing loads of stuff in their crotch. My buddy comments that they are probably moving bunk whatever in powder form. They set up no tent -nothing, and are gone from their van within 20 minutes of arrival. We see them periodically thoughout the day, checking back in at the van and Always looking sketched. We shoulda taken down their plates, cuz i tell ya, they oozed badness. Anyways, they split at like 4 in the morning, and we feel thankful not to have to be so watchful of camp.
Fast forward to Friday evening. I'm cooking up some dinner while my buddies try to rest up in the shade for the evening's festivities. One of the dudes from the day before wanders up effed outa his skull, but in a real skeetchy, almost violent fashion. He sees me cooking and asks if I need anything. I tell him I'm good, figuring he'll move on. He totally doesn't remember me as his neighbor from the day before. Anyhow, that's the setup-story continues in dialogue:
Shadycat: When you gonna give me one of what you got there ? Me: Just started cookin' man. You might not like it anyway. It's vegetarian meatballs. Shadycat: Man, what you need for dat ? Me: I told you, nothing dude, I'm set. But these are gonna take at least another 20 minutes(knowing his patience wouldn't allow for that).
Finally, he's in my face, yellow eyes bulging from his skul almost throwing a fit, and bolts out: Shadycat: MAN-HOW MUCH COKE IT"S GONNA TAKE TO GIT ME ONE A DEM MEATBALL nuts ?
My dudes gathered around at that point and he scattered.
Dude almost had alla dem meatball nuts at 250 degrees on his ass.
But looking back-it's a pretty funny line to hear-only at the ROOOOOO
My husband and I have been saying "MAN-HOW MUCH COKE IS IT GONNA TAKE TO GIT ME ONE A DEM MEATBALL nuts ?" randomly for the last four days - thanks for comic relief
while going into centeroo the one day I was trying to be nice and talk to the guy patting me down...
me:so how has the day been? him: not to good actually. I havnt found any of the sweet stuff yet. m: ok? h: (pats me down) shoooowwww me the the sweet stuff (it was mostly his voice that made it funny)
ok so I know I have 3 posts in a row and I'm sorry for taking up so much space. this is my last post here, i promise. I just wanted to post my funniest line from roo. I know there are a lot of mixed feelings about kids at roo so I'm sorry if this makes you mad. We went with our two little kids (our first roo) and it was hard, we probably won't take them again unless we go vip with an rv and someone with us to help, and then what's piont of bringing them. I guess we thought it wouldn't be so hot and dusty, and we just wanted to be cool rockin parents who can do anything with their kids. well, we got to see maybe 30% of what we would have liked to, never got close to any show and completely missed a lot of cool roo stuff. anyway, blah blah blah, i see now why other posters have said that bonnaroo is their vacation from their kids. I have been walking around wearing my bonnaroo shirt as much as possible hoping that random people will be all "hey! bonnaroo!" but alas no common bonnaroo ground to be found at playgrounds and mid-day whole foods runs. ok, now to my quote: We were walking back to camp after leaving tool at about 10 and our son, who is two and that's pretty freakin late for a two year old, was practically skipping and running alll they way back to camp waving his glow stick and being as happy as can be. We started talking about how wierd an wonderful it was that he was in such a good mood so late and and my husband, joking, said that maybe he was feeling some effects from being around all the "happy" smoke (we did try to keep the kids out of the thick fogs while there) and I said that I hoped not. We said to him (as he was running passed the portaroos): "Rowan, are you stoned" and Rowan said: "No! I'm a boy!"

Ben Harper announced JPJ joining him on stage during his set
girl next to me, while wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt: "Who's John Paul Jones?"
me: "can I please slap you?"
Nothing pisses me off more, I heard numerous people asking who John Paul Jones was, luckily i didnt see anyone wearing a Zeppelin shirt and saying this or I might have freaked out...O well, some just arent educated
Also heard some woman talking to a man in our campsite on Thursday night saying W:No Man, you gotta cornhole that if you want to take it into Centeroo. Either you Keister it or you dont get in... M:Really??? Sh|t!!!
And I am not entirely sure, but I think I heard that he actually did cornhole some stuff in order to get it into Roo, so I hope none of you hung out with that guy

We were camped next to a group of 3 young sorority girl types.
Not to put a damper on things, but please don't make assumptions. Just because a girl is stupid or girly doesn't make her a 'sorority-girl type'....stereotypes really suck

So one day, it was mid-day, it was hot, I can't remember why but we had been walking for a while and a guy bumps into my sister or something and she gets all grumbly and pissed off. I tried to be funny and told her to be a happy hippie. She responded with,
"I know, I keep forgetting to love everybody."
It was our quote for the weekend, and post-Roo too

I do make the same stereotypes and I was the freaking social chairperson of my sorority back in the day. I guess it's kinda stupid of me! ;D

Well, they had greek letters on their asses and on their car, so I'm pretty sure they were in a sorority. Not saying that all sororities or their members are stupid, but these girls were the epitome of the helpless, vacant, blond, overly made-up, whiney, sorority girl stereotype. If you spend your life trying to fit into a negative stereotype, I see no problem with labeling you as that stereotype. However, I'm sure you are a nice, capable person like many friends I've had who were members of Greek organizations, and no offense was intended.
John: We don't even understand our own music Spider: It doesn't, does it matter whether we understand it? At least it'll give us . . . strength John: I know but maybe we could get into it more if we understood it

Just remembered another hilarious line from this year's Roo.
While waiting in (a loooong) line for the port-o-potties on Sat morning, a poor bedraggled soul was trying to make their way down Plantation road and navigate the throngs of people waiting to use the bathroom. He was weaving through the poeple saying "excuse me, pardon me, I'm not cutting, just trying to get through, I'm not cutting" When a voice at the back of one of the line shouts "Hey, he's cutting. Let's get him!" It reminded me of something Moe would shout to encite Springfielders to riot over something trivial. The guy then said, Man, it's never good to be mobbed by a bunch of people who really need to pee."

Walking back from John Butler Trio had a guy next to me yelling...
"$5.00 for HUGS, plus a free pack of cigarettes!!" ;D
Holy eff there's a good chance that was my friend yelling that. He pulled that stuff all weekend. On Saturday he had a "High Five Booth" where it was $5 for a high five and you get a free pack of cigs for the other hand. it was his special way of getting around the illegal vending.

On Thursday night I was walking down Woodland Ave back to my camp and heard some chick talking to her friend...
Chick: "Aw godddddd... If only I could find my weed..." Friend: "But honey, you smoked it all already." Chick: "I know... "
Then on Sunday I heard some some guys walking down First Ave saying to the Clean Vibes dudes "Man... You can't run over me right now. I'm not even real right now. "
Some chick near the vendors - "Seriously. I could bake cakes and give head ALL. DAY."
AHHA and when walking over the footbridge to Centeroo near the woods, some guy was in the woods taking a piss and one of the security guys walked up behind him with his megaphone and yelled BONNAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! and ran off laughing his ass off. The guy in the woods screamed like a little girl and ran off too.

Love it - I was wondering about the story behind that picture

I wish I had been around - that was kinda irritating to glance over and see guys peeing in the woods - at times I was hoping some of them had gotten into poison (I know mean of me - sorry)
