Hot dogs were pretty much my favorite food as a child. Way to go, Team Frogout! Edit: Forgot to say I pledged  !

Bold Robot posted:I like this exchange from earlier this afternoon: Hah, that was me. I figure by the time Doobie's is the #1 hot dog chain in the country and opens up their first Bay Area franchise they'll have added veggie dogs to the menu. Hopefully someone will have figured out how to improve veggie dogs by then, because they are gross.

The last time I got excited for a kickstarter was Shadowrun Returns, which I ended up pledging $125 (and coincidentally just got my rewards in the mail yesterday). Unfortunately times have changed and I can only offer a meager amount, but just being part of this hilarious and awesome movement is worthwhile. Hotdog Philanthropists unite! I've dreamed of taking an American roadtrip someday, and I will be sure to swing through Reform, AL to be a patron to his business (or just to see the remnants if that's what it comes down to..)

In for $25. That's about how much I paid for my sushi lunch yesterday, so it seems like the least I could do.

I can't pitch until Monday and I can only pitch ten dollars, but this will be the first Kickstarter I donate to. I am so happy for this guy, and you goons are just loving amazing people. I too dream of one day opening a little restaurant, although mine will be a burger place, not a hot dog place, and this incredible act of kindness you guys are doing has given me faith that maybe I can accomplish my dream someday too. Shine on you crazy Frog Outs.

Next to nothing on his current income, this is probably gift income so..."doesn't matter"? e: Seriously he should get some advice on how to deal with this extraneous income on tax forms. I'm sure there is something on KS to deal with this. e: vv yeah Burt Sexual fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Sep 28, 2013 |

ChubbyPitbull posted:So saying maybe 10% off for Kickstarter/Amazon processing, how much in taxes is Wayne looking at having to pay on this income? Kickstarter has a guide on taxes. Looks like the upshot is 1) it's probably income; 2) if he spends it on the business, it's probably deductible; and 3) he may be able to claim it's a gift, in which case it's not taxable. I think he's got a decent case that most of the Frogout donations are gifts since we've all stated many times on his page that we don't expect to claim our rewards, but if anyone puts up an ad for the higher reward tiers, that's probably income. If it's income, it just gets taxed at the normal rate, i.e. probably not very much because I can't imagine Claude Wayne is in a very high tax bracket.

Doobie's going to spend it all on hookers and blow. His wife will leave him, his kids will disown him. He will die face down in the gutter, alone, choking on a hot dog. Nice work, goons.

I saw this thread earlier today and had to check out the ks. I love SA guerilla charity and doobies was so cute and earnest and honest I threw in 10...came back to read the rest of the thread and now I'm in tears and this poo poo has made my day. Seriously hope I can visit Alabama someday, and wow never thought I'd say that.

I know we're absolutely not about telling a guy how to run his crazy hot dog empire, but... I broke down and asked him how married he was to the processed cheese. The only real objections to his dogs that I've heard in this thread are the chilli and the cheese. He's already assured me that he will be using thicker, better, home-made chilli when he actually opens, but man... I just can't help but think that even to a Southern palate, some grated medium cheddar would do wonders for that dog.

While I personally agree, I'm also aware that some people actually prefer slices of american cheese. Plain, on burgers, on a hotdog, some people just legit love that poo poo. It has always mystified me.

We are so blessed to have each and every one of you on our side...thank you for believing in a man and his dogs..lol....today after work I went to the site where the building will be located and did some measurements.. And met with the land owner that is leasing me the spot about trimming the trees limbs back.. So it will all be ready to set up the kitchen in its permanent spot.... Again thank y'all so much

Anyone else keep googling "Doobie's Dog House" to see if it has caught anyone's attention? I figure there's got to be a few people wondering internet-aloud about what's going on.

I pitched in yesterday and have been googling every once in a while since then, but it seems like only other things that comes up is a singer called Doobie "Doghouse" Wilson. In a way it's surprising, but in another it's kinda nice we can just fund this guy and have it just be a good deed without a whole lot of publicity. Hats off to the guy for following his dream.
