All that we ask is that, if Doobie's Dog House fails, it'll be spectacular, like a tire fire but with hotdogs. A trucker driving through town will stop to refill his rig with diesel and stare at the plume of brown smoke and ask the attendant, "What's with the popping noises." The gas man will reply, slowly, "Them are frog dogs."

The town will be revitalized from an unexpected number of people coming from miles around to inspect the curious, never-ending hotdog fire. "Why don't the flames go out?" They will ask. A grizzled old woman will hobble up, wave her cane at the fire and say, "Never got a proper vent hood. That was his first mistake." But the unseen truth will be that a busted sewage line and a town that eats nothing but food from a Dollar General makes for fantastic methane production.

Hotdog man will leave the town of Reform, run out by a horde of angry people. A young boy will ask, "Why's he running?" and the gas man will reply, "Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Reform deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because Doobie can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dog Knight."

Are you some kind of mystical hot dog bard or something?

You'd be surprised how much it actually costs to run a hot dog cart in NYC.

The main cost isn't the cart or materials, it's a license to park the cart in prime spots.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2009/08/the_halfmilliondollar_wiener.html

All for about 15k / year.

That article actually says that the vendors who pay the city for premium spots such as next to the MET do not report their income but we can infer that it is more than $400,000 since many of them have been there for years.

The people making 15k a year are the carts that simply drop anywhere else in the city and compete for 'territory' and poo poo like a bunch of Neanderthals.

True; the few vendors with the cash to afford to buy the premium licenses do okay, most of the time. I don't know how well those few actually do. Sometimes they can't make the 40k / month rent and go bankrupt. The bulk of them aren't making much though.

But you don't know that the bulk of them aren't making any money because their income isn't reported so it is all anecdotal. They have auctions for those premium spots. Do you think they reach 400k a year regularly by mistake?

I met a traveller from a southern land
Who said: Two vast and bunless dogs of stone stand in reform.

Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered amphibian lies, whose grin,
And staring eyes, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its donators poorly that kickstarter read
Full over funded, granted to build these lifeless things.

The ruddha that mocked them and the noni that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Doobie, king of kings:
Look on my dogs, oh internet and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the ash of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare the lone and level sands stretch far away.

That rent is set by auction, and this 25 year old was the highest bidder. So he's an idiot, they still make $1000-$1500 a day. On the lower end that's 350-500k a year. Another article said the rent was $400k last year before he overbid - which actually makes sense.

The math in the title shouldn't be correct, to reflect the current hot dog situation.

I threw $25 at hot dogs and if it fails, it was worth it for the brief few minutes that guy was happy and excited because eh, gently caress it. I've spent more on stupider poo poo in the past.

To be fair, he is likely more ignorant than he is outright racist. I don't think this guy is going to put up a "Whites Only" sign or treat black customers poorly, like many members of my extended family (anyone's family if you extend it enough) you find small town people who find some jokes funny that you would never want them publicly making in public around you. Not trying to defend him, but he made a "black people like chicken" comment and then immediately got called out by his mom for using the abbreviation "LMFAO" which was the thing that stuck out most to me because that is hilarious.

Under his film likes he has Tyler Perry so I'm going to guess hes more... small town never really got to meet too many black people than he is racist. I had a friend who's wife had family like this and he always told me "They don't hate black people, they just don't get why that may offend someone. Bring it up and they will mention how they had a black co-worker they would joke around with but won't understand that not everyone is that co-worker and that their one black friend is not the official spokesperson of all people termed black."

When she called him out I was looking around for some horribly racist abbreviation of some kind, the fact that it was for implying that he had kinda sort of said the words 'loving' and 'rear end' was pretty great.
