One thing I’ve learned from attending music festivals over the years is that my friends often say some pretty funny stuff.  I’ve also learned that if not documented, most of the quotes are never remembered and fade into oblivion.  That’s why many years ago we began a tradition of someone taking notes throughout the festival to have the documentation just in case some memories are “hazy”.  I decided BRR would be a good event to put this to work as well.

My apologies that most of these obviously came from my van, but here they are:

“I went to the Dollar General today and just stared at the Imodium AD”  – Leaner

“We are going to finish at 3:26”  – Meatloaf on Thursday afternoon after we laid out leg by leg the projected times.  We finished the race at exactly 3:26.

“So negative 10% grade is like the same as 10% but downhill?  Duggar

“I do fancy a good tongue sandwich with brown sauce” – Posh

“Is delevation the opposite of elevation?”  Uncle Jesse

“I’m thinking about quitting and just drinking and driving”  Leaner

“Nips out for Harambe!”  Versace (this became our EZ call sign on the night exchanges and subsequently the remainder of the race)

“Nips out for Hombre!”  Mac n Cheese mistakenly calling out our Harambe call sign

“We’ve got a runner!”  Versace (In a decidedly feminine voice as runners approached the exchange zone).

“We’ve got a walker!”  Versace  (same as above but for the poor souls walking to the EZ.  As if they weren’t down on themselves enough at that point)

“What’s more crazy?  The fact that that airplane can fly, or the fact that there are people on that airplane that have no idea there are people down here laying in a field waiting to run?”  Sugar

“Look, that girl is rubbing her nuts!”  Messi as a female runner was applying some runner gel.

“Who could possibly have on more TJ Maxx gear than me right now?”  Uncle Jesse

“That kid drug my ass up that Mountain” – Pacer on Versace after mountain goat leg 31

“Will you get me a bottle of water?”  Meatloaf every five minutes for the entire 32 hours.

“That was hill-acious” – Duggar after leg 21

Meter Maid asks, “What’s your favorite Christian rock song to run to?”  Uncle Jesse responds –  “Runnin’ with the Devil by Van Halen” (Side note, Jesse and Duggar listened to Christian Rock on all three legs of BRR.  Nothing wrong with that, just not Jesse’s normal “get hype for a run” type music)

“Best father son performance of the BRR”  Meter Maid on Pacer/Versace performance on leg 31

“99, blow me” – Versace in response to the PAX questioning his recollection of the 90s decade given his age/DOB.

 

I’m sure I missed some epic quotes along the way as well.  Great job gentlemen.
