Dust, beer and rock 'n roll: the most successful recipe for talking crap.
 

Griffin, of WatKykJy.co.za: “One does not simply walk into Oppikoppi.”

Guy to his overbearing mate at the bar: “Jy's nou op 'n 10, maar ek soek jou op 'n 6.”

Girl on mushrooms: "Sewende Laan was actually nogals cool."

Guy, to his immodest neighbour in the shower queue: "Please cover your ass. It's a lovely ass, but just cover it."

20 drunk strangers posed for a photo with this painted sign, to admonish Henry for staying with his girlfriend instead of joining his four vindictive buddies. Apparently, he was not ‘allowed’ to go: "HENRY, THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE MISSING."

One of Jack’s non-Afrikaans fans, wearing a zef Parow cap: “Ek is Black Parow!"

Dude 1: "Hy's daar aan die oorkant."
Dude 2: "Ha ha, you said c..."

Jason 'Lem' Esterhuizen (via @stevieza): “Jy’s mooier as 'n boks vol klein baba katjies."

Via @Rudi_Cronje: “Ek is êrens tussen my ligaam en die hemel. Dis fokken pragtig hier.”

Anonymous: “Ek kan vandag eers voel hoe Oppikoppi my in die helfte gebreek het. My stem lê iewers in 'n swart sak op die plaas.”

Foursquare user’s delusions of grandeur: “I am the mayor of Oppikoppi!”

Dutch festival-goer having a good time: "Ik heb zebra's gezien, giraffen, ben tenminste 2 kilo dikker van de biltong, Oppikoppi is een super vet festival."

Disco Dave, owner of a majestic: “Thank you Oppikoppi. It was a Huge Pleasure for you all to meet me.”

Chris Roper of Mail & Guardian Online: “Tamara Day butchers Valiant Swart song dressed as extra from Flashdance. Oh, the humanity.”

@SchweppsRocka: “Leaving oppikoppi but I literally took a piece of the bar with me.”

Angry Facebook fan of Die Heuwels Fantasties, after a badly-received performance: (To the rhythm of Die Heuwels Fantasties’ ‘Klein Tambotieboom’) "As die Heuwels weer gaan speel, en Pierre probeer sy stem kry. As die mense weer betaal en sien hoe hulle geld verdwyn.Probeer om my te soek, dis nie waar ek sal wees nie, Die Heuwels is toe eintlik nie so fantasties nie."
