JossiRossi posted:So many people start restaurants by taking out massive loans against their property and stuff, this guy is actually doing everything he can to NOT gently caress up his life and family's future. :3 Yeah, part of why I really want this guy to succeed is because he's actual realistic about what he can do with the money (sewer main issues aside). Plus his town only has like 2,000 people, 30% of whom are below the poverty line, and five bucks for a hotdog with a bunch of stuff on it and chips and a drink is probably actually affordable to most of the population. Not counting the charity dogs he has to give out if he meets his goal.

As the guy who originally made fun of this project, I believe is my responsibility to chip in with something. So have my  you crazy hot dog man.edit. I read Noni's post in the voice of Bob from Bob's Burgers. It really makes it very inspirational. DoctorPresident has a new favorite as of 05:41 on Sep 25, 2013 |

I've wasted $25 on dumber things. I'm in as well. Also, I heard mention of "can't back yet, not paid". I am willing on a case-by-case basis to put money down for you if you can paypal it back after payday if anyone else truly wants to give this guy , send me a PM.

I saw this quote in the PYF Quotes thread. I thought I was going to be reading another hilarious Noni quote, but instead I read something quite beautiful. My dad is now on the second year of owning a hot dog cart. He even uses the "Dog House" name, too. He's told me about others who own carts that he has met. It seems that no one decides to sell hot dog on a whim. It's a passion to the point where I almost can't understand it. Many drunk people say, "We should buy a bar!" and nothing comes of it. If someone soberly says they are going to buy a hot dog cart, you are hearing the words of someone who has dreamed of it for a long time. It's amazing that after selling hot dogs every day for two years, including weekends, in the hot summers and cold winters, my dad's face lights up with pure joy each time he hands a hot dog to a customer. It's like when a kid sells the first cup of lemonade at that makeshift lemonade stand, but as a career. I wish I had that kind of love for what I do. If Doobie's Dog House is anything like that, and I think it is judging by the Kickstarter page, then I hope it succeeds. I'm pledging, too, and I hope you goons will with me.

When I pledged last night at around 11 PM it put him from $80 to $105, not even 24 hours later it's pushing $700. EDIT: By "pushing $700" I apparently now mean "over $700".

   poo poo, this post has officially sold me. I'm legitimately ashamed at my snobbishness when I initially scoffed at the pictures of sad looking hotdogs with American cheese and Fritos. The guy didn't have time or money to waste on professional dressed up food photoshoots that never resemble the actual product. I admit I'd order mine without any cheese product, but I bet his hotdogs are completely delicious. completely delicious.... and 100% Alabama  If you haven't already, I recommend you tell the guy some of what you wrote here. Obviously not some of the more denigrating things, but definitely let him know that you, and a lot of other people, are really rooting for him. Perhaps we should post this in the Awesome Kickstarter thread? pre-post edit: Oh hey it seems that I am not the only one who was deeply moved by this High Quality Post. Yep. Count me the gently caress in. I'd pledge right now but I'm in bed and my debit card is in my pants on the floor, but tomorrow morning for sure.  + (/2)

Someone should honestly just make a Doobie's Dog Stand thread. After that Noni post I'm also totally in for $10 when I get money on Friday. I feel like I'm helping to fund the field of dreams. But with hot dogs. So way better.

TheJoker138 posted:Someone should honestly just make a Doobie's Dog Stand thread. I agree with this. I don't want to get invested and hopeful on this only to find out this bout of charity petered out and the dude fell short of his goal. If we get a thread going I can even see it becoming a regular thing to throw the guy post-launch to feed a couple of homeless people, as a sort of goon-started charity.

If Doobie Dogs makes it, I'm going to suggest an alternative to requesting that your 5 free combos go to the homeless. Considering that we want Doobie Dogs to survive, and open a franchise location near us soon, instead you should request that he hold an event in town(Probably on whichever day that antique mall next store is busy), and use 2 or 3 of your free combos to give out free food. Hopefully, that will get him some return business, and at least make some people aware of DD's existence. Then have him give the remaining combos to the homeless a few months from now. I know that the homeless are hungry now, but there is no way that he will be able to afford giving out 1000 combo meals in one shot without going bankrupt so soon after he opens. He will need some kind of return return value on your free meals if he is to stay in business. I don't think he was expecting to pay out all of the free combos in one day. That's probably nearly $2000 in food cost to him.

Can't wait for his response in the morning (it's like 2am there right?). I'm tempted to up it to a 100 just to plaster his tables with some goon art/advertisements.

Plus, Australia's a little far to come from, even if they're the best drat things ever.

$25 in for the hot dog stand. Anyone made that thread yet? If we get this out to the general membership I bet it'll explode. And unlike most of you, I get down to Alabama once a year or so for family, so I can report back on the deliciousness of the dogs.
