I've been thinking about this from his perspective and it's loving incredible.

Here he is, a man with a dream. Owning and operating his own business. Showing his 3 sons what it's like to provide for your family and letting them know that if you work hard enough you too can make your own way. He did his research, took his time, got everything figured out and decided that where he's at the best thing to do would be a Hot Dog stand. But where he's at you can't really do a traditional stand, so he needed a proper kitchen and space and steam trays and...

Six thousand dollars. $6000 that he didn't have. $6000 that he can't scrape together because he's barely getting by with the money he's got.

Then he hears about this Kickstarter website, where people help dreams come true. So he gets it all set up and the woman he loves more than anything takes $60 out of her own check, money that could have gone to a new pair of pants for one of the boys or maybe to the electric bill that's a month past due. Money that could've, no SHOULD'VE been spent on the household to just get by. And she gave it to the man she loves most in the world to tell him that his dreams matter, and she believed in him.

With 1% funded and 30 days to go, he waited. Checked it every morning, noon, and night.

"Maybe it takes a few days" he probably thought at first.

A few days pass, with no change.

"No one knows, I have to spread the word!" So he goes to facebook and twitter, and starts trying to get the word out. Sure he's just one man, but he has a humble goal that's actually well thought out. If you build it, they will come.

21 days into his 30 day campaign: $60 of $6000 funded. No one noticed, no one cared, but he still held out hope. Maybe in the back of his mind he was trying desperately to figure out what he was going to do. Kickstarter was probably a hail mary. The bank had probably already said no. There's no real steady work around town, and that electric bill comes in a red envelope now.

Then a message in his inbox: "I'm from the internet, you can call us team frogout....."

in 48 hours he's overfunded.

Miracles Happen.

I bet almost anything that Doobie's one of those guys that every fifteen minutes he has a new "passion" or new direction in life. Like when you're a teen and you constantly change between emo, skater, punk, goth, until you find what suits you. Except Doobie's an adult with kids that depend on him and instead of changing clothing styles he changes careers. Right now his life destiny is to be a mechanic. Two years ago it was to be a hot dog-slinger. Two years before that, it was an Alabama sewer man. And two years from now he'll suddenly want to be a pilot or something.

That's the only reason I can think of why he just went "welp guess I gotta close the shack based on some phone call about a funeral parlor" instead of fighting for his shack to see what can be done. Or even a new location. He wanted out and this was his easy way out. Any dumb excuse that could finally come his way he was gonna take it. Or else he would have put in the same effort he did trying to get gay people fired for being gay.

He's so lazy that he wanted to hire a full time manager with three years experience and clean piss because he couldn't handle a 40 hour work week.

Did Doobie ever paint the giant frog on the side of the shed?

My thoughts on the topic:

-I live about an hour and some change from Doobie's establishment, oftentimes passing it on the way to Tuscaloosa. Whenever I would have a manic phase I would get the idea that going to Doobie's and causing a scene that would rile up his and Natasha's xenophobia and bigotry would be a hilarious thing. Not so much now, as I've been working on myself. I'm glad Doobie's is closed, as it will no longer tempt me to incite a disturbance should my meds fail.

-experiencing disappointment makes you or breaks you. we could very well see doobie again. probably not.

-they paved paradise, and put up a parking lot. indeed.

He decided his "dream" was to run a hot dog restaurant (seriously, he claimed it was his dream), but once he did it he realized that restaurant work actually really loving sucks like many people who have no experience running a restaurant but start one anyway. I don't know what he thought would be so great about it other than it being nice to be your own boss. So now he's on to the next thing, hoping light auto repair might suck less.
