- It was So hot I Went into the hotel room and turned on the heat by mistake, and it still felt cooler than outside.
- We got our money's worth. But next year we may just sit in a recliner in a cool room and every 25 minutes or so stick a Dollar in a shredder. Every hour or so go to the fridge and grab a cold drink and pour it down the sink
- Cold Bud Ice tastes like I imagine cold butt sweat would taste.
- At 3am even trash on the grass can be funny. In fact, everything is funny.
- Walk at night, take your glasses off so everything in the distance is fuzzy... And let your imagination go wild.
- Saw two ghosts in front of the walking horse hotel. They came directly towards us; and turned into two kids on bikes with lights on.
- At night It's really hard to take a photo of a tree that looks exactly like a T Rex. Even with a full moon in the background.
- You can take a photo at night of a freshly dead skunk if someone will shine a light on it first.
- Want to piss off a possum? Just follow it with a beam of light for awhile.
- Walking by a cornfield, I thought how some people look like they walk with a cob up their butt; and wondered if it would help me.
- 5 hour energy, in any flavor, tastes terrible; especially if you sip it. But it definitely gives you about a two hour boost.
- It's still cool to have the A/C on high and make a little tent with your covers.
- Coins are harder to pick up on day ten
- Don't walk down the center of the road in Kimball; even if it's 03:30 and there are no cars on the road except the Jasper Police.

"Dude!!! I am officially sick of VolState!! I cannot wait to get to the ROCK slap Laz around and drag him 314 miles through these hot a@@ small towns where everything closes at 2pm WTF!! I am sick of eating hotfries and gatorade for breakfast. Tried to get some ice and a man gave me 1.57 said sorry lady this is all I have. I look and smell horrible. He thought I was homeless. I threw my white shirt away and I still look a hot mess. I threw my wig away, some runners thought I lost my head lol. Actually why did I come again, who needs another jacket. I want my mommy, I want to take a shower, I want to brush my teeth in my own bathroom. Please stop biting me chiggers, bed bugs, mosiquitos. I am red all.over, my hair needs to be washed. F@@@!!!
