Dobbie is going to get his hotdog shack up and running and then see it suspiciously burn down the next day with a giant insurance claim.

I dunno. A giant hotdog sinking into the ocean after colliding with a floating vent hood, while an orchestra of frogs plays "Nearer My God To Thee" would have been more appropriate.

Oh I'm fully aware of this fact :colbert: I just figure if I could choose any GBS thread to be shamelessly memeful in it's the one with 3 pages of Stone Cold Steve Austin gifs and emptyquoting FYAD superstars. What's another :10bux: if I already blew that kinda mad cash on the hotdog man?

E: I can't even take credit for this. I got bored and kept hitting the 'random' button on reddit despite what a cesspool that place is and just so happened across /r/doge/ "hot doge"

We need individualised gang tags that display the amount that everyone donated to the Kickstarter project.

For the first time since I started this project I'm feeling like it's not going to happen... It's the curse of the vent hood again.... Not only did it take a lot of my funds to buy it .. Now it's got to be installed ... I don't think I can do it myself..,I called an installer .. It cost more to install than to buy it.. This is ridiculous .. If I don't get this loan that I'm fixing to try for, I could be over before it got started... No need to respond just wanted to say what was on my mind... Having anxiety attach or something... Can barely catch my breath

Aw, that's a shame.

Like a relationship: You love him the first week, when he's cooking you romantic hot dog dinners, and then when he turns into a dumbass and misspends your money on poor planning the next week and you break up with him, you get a perverse joy out of seeing him fail.

Ergo, is it not possible both to enjoy the idea of helping a man achieve his dream, and then when the dream is squandered, enjoy watching it all burn down?

Having read 90% of the thread, didn't he simply try to go too big too fast?

The money isn't 'gone' perse, he just doesn't have enough set aside for his grandiose :krad: hotdog palace

Wayne,

1st piece of advice – with a brick and motar operation, have 6 months overhead on hand (read – CASH) prior to starting the operation. 95% of the restaurant business failures are due to undercapitalization – not bad product. That’s the beauty of a cart – low…low….low overhead!

Good Luck!
Mark

Comment from Wayne's thread on hot dog profits dot com from before SA discovered him. He even responded to it, so it's not like nobody tried to warn him. Guess he knew better than to let someone throw filthy hot dog water on his dreams.

Also the cart system is a way to build name recognition, customer base and also test the whole market concept before moving on to the risker brick mortar phase.

The saddest part of this story hasn't happened yet. It's the part where his father tosses in his 10K nest egg just to buy the hood, and Doobies still goes under because he can't afford inspections. We will have actively done net harm and the father will die on the street because we tried to play God. meanwhile hot dogs remain gross.

If I remember from one Goon's Beowulf prose on The Vent Hood, it is the most difficult hurdle to overcome when opening a restaurant and has stopped many projects in their tracks. What would it take, how much would it take, and could anything be done to slay the barrier of the vent hood and end the saga of The Vent Hood on a happy note?

Seems like it will take more than father and son to figure this out.

Guys, we should've listened to Steve Austin. FYAD wasn't making fun of it as much as they were just sounding a prophetic warning. It was only 7bux, but I feel really guilty for giving Doobie any money now.

Also, he keeps sharing Dropsy on Twitter. :bang: And I still have to put the doghouse somewhere in my game. Maybe I'll give it little angel wings or something.

A vent-based optional side quest which at first glance seems like it will bring great rewards but if you accept the quest it crashes the game and wipes the save file. The second run through is exactly the same except it has no Christmas.

In all seriousness, it was originally only going to be a little static background on the outskirts of a city. Now it's going to be a static backdrop in a distant parallax layer in a secret area.
