I just made the frogdog picture on a whim, kind of if it were the back of a t shirt or something; certainly not intending to take over anyone's branding. I wholeheartedly agree that we need to leave creative liberties to Wayne, but if he wants to use the picture he's more than welcome to it. :3

There's nothing more honest than a hot dog. You know drat well the process of making one is disgusting, and that it's bad for you, but you eat it anyway, because it's delicious.

E: I just had a wistful daydream of me passing through Alabama one day in a couple of years, finding his dogshack, ordering myself a hotdog, and just leaving a frog on the counter without him noticing as I leave.

It helps them feel better I suppose, but I really want to see all the little creative projects from people outside the holistic artisanal microwallet video game demographic have their dreams fulfilled. Exactly why I threw my meager free cash at this man and his hot dogs.

Well, me too, that's why I'm here. And heck, maybe some KS projects like the hilariously named "www.FeistyButtFunToy.com" will make it thanks to my help. It's a good feeling. :tipshat:

It is usually better not to see the sausage being made. Best to let him imagine we are some nutty baseball team or something. That said I'm in for giving cash to some other guy making a subset of them. Also putting frogs on things; I used to really like frogs. :frogc00l:

I'm thinking keep the absurd eyes but make it a little more smiley. I also had the idea that the frog would make a good flippable open/closed sign but while "get in" is cute, "get out" may not be good for business. (Although, maybe as an "exit" sign...)

Obviously

More importantly I don't care about anything frog-related one iota, except that I'm happy if it made some people donate who otherwise wouldn't have.

While we're fantasizing about how to incorporate our emoticons into this guy's business plan, Get in/Get out if used in conjunction doesn't sound so bad. For a hot dog thing, getting in and getting out would be a benefit

If he wants to put the frog behind the counter or on the menu or something that is cool, but we shouldn't be trying to foist it upon him as some kind of brand identity.

I think we just want to send him a group photo in the form of some kind of "team frogout" mascot, since that's the name we chose for ourselves. I hope we would all agree that he can do whatever he wants with it.

I think

Holy hell, goons!

I left for classes and work this morning, wondering if Doobie's could make the deadline, and I come back to find you've all pushed the kickstarter $2,000 past the goal with plenty of spare time to add on to it.

Claude seems like a cool dude, and I admit to tearing up a little just reading his responses to the donations that were pouring in. I can be a cynical bastard, but damned if it doesn't warm my Grinch heart to know that a hotdog stand called Doobie's Dog House exists out in Alabama. :3:

Also, hotdogs must be like the funnest food to think up names and recipes for.

Doobie dogs, frogdogs, devil dogs, dingo dogs, tater dogs, etc.

You need to remove the quotation from the link if you click it but here's a little pdf explaining that particular bit;

"One More Night With The Frogs.pdf posted:

Pharaoh could stand it no longer and so he calls Moses and Moses says to Pharaoh, "I will
ask God to take the frogs out of the land, you just tell me when shall God remove the frogs?"
And, Pharaoh tells Moses, "Tomorrow!"

Exodus 8 (MSG) posted:

1-4 God said to Moses, �Go to Pharaoh and tell him, �God�s Message: Release my people so they can worship me. If you refuse to release them, I�m warning you, I�ll hit the whole country with frogs. The Nile will swarm with frogs�they�ll come up into your houses, into your bedrooms and into your beds, into your servants� quarters, among the people, into your ovens and pots and pans. They�ll be all over you, all over everyone�frogs everywhere, on and in everything!��

5 God said to Moses, �Tell Aaron, �Wave your staff over the rivers and canals and ponds. Bring up frogs on the land of Egypt.��

6 Aaron stretched his staff over the waters of Egypt and a mob of frogs came up and covered the country.

7 But again the magicians did the same thing using their incantations�they also produced frogs in Egypt.

8 Pharaoh called in Moses and Aaron and said, �Pray to God to rid us of these frogs. I�ll release the people so that they can make their sacrifices and worship God.�

9 Moses said to Pharaoh, �Certainly. Set the time. When do you want the frogs out of here, away from your servants and people and out of your houses? You�ll be rid of frogs except for those in the Nile.�

10-11 �Make it tomorrow.�

Moses said, �Tomorrow it is�so you�ll realize that there is no God like our God. The frogs will be gone. You and your houses and your servants and your people, free of frogs. The only frogs left will be the ones in the Nile.�

I think the implication was that the plague of frogs wasn't really a plague because the Pharaoh actually liked frogs.
