does anyone have a link to the last and/or best doober thread?

wayne curr posted:

Every time one of these threads pop up and remind me Doobie exists, I jump onto google earth and check if there's been new streetview images taken of the green shack.
Then I spend half an hour looking around Reform.
That place is as fuuuck. Everything's so sad and tired looking and washed out.


According to wikipedia, 30% of the population are below the poverty line.

Did soundmonkey ever explain why he started a campaign to help doobie? Of all the charity to choose from, why did he pick this guy?

Priced to go. He needs to get them gone.

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.

Lol all he has to do is sue his landlord for the funds to move/whatever he spent fixing up the place. What a dumbass.

I think the funeral home did the right thing, they knew nobody wanted to be caught dead around the vicinity of Doobie's.

Did doobie, at any point during this whole enterprise, even experiment with lowering his outrageous prices?

Bold Robot posted:

Wait seriously what's the joke in that pic?

fuctifino posted:

"butthurt special snowflake" has 134 hits on google. Nobody uses that term. Many of the results had a comma between butthurt and special snowflake, so weren't even true hits. I hoped Sandi would have used that term before, so I went and had a look at some of the hits, and one looked promising as a comment left on this forum post..



This forum poster Firespawn is quite racist, as a comment further down the page suggests



I was about to dismiss it, but the same person defends Star Citizen A LOT on the same site. Of the 134 recorded instances in the world of people using the term "butthurt special snowflake", is it just a coincidence that this person is also an avid defender of Star Citizen?

FIRST TIME posted:

We're talking about Alabama here, white bread with that kind of food is an actual thing there. It really wouldn't be so bad if Doobie baked his own bread or sourced it from an actual bakery or something but instead he buys a bag of $0.99 Walmart white bread and plops it down with reheated frozen Walmart wings and fries and calls it a day.

poo poo, even if he bought a cheap bread machine it would do most of the work for him but it would give people a reason to go to Doobies instead of just going to the grocery store and taking the 20 minutes to make it themselves.

loving Doobie. I paid him 50,000 dollars to be the first Dog House franchise and now he closes the original? I'm ruined. I might as well have spent all that loving money on star citizen jpegs.

Can someone tell me what the hell is going on? I haven't read the thread and OP isn't updating OP

But see, he was closed like 5 days a week, so that cuts into the pie a bit.


Also, he's making up those numbers.
