Wait, is that building he's renting actually, literally in a trailerpark. Like, is there not even a main street going by?

I was wondering about that. Part of the plan with the original location was that it was across the street from a place big rigs could park, so he could get some business from passing truckers as well as locals. Bring outside money into town would be great. But in a trailer park, will anyone even know his shack is there?

Still can't believe some guy convinced his wife and kid to cancel Christmas so they could donate money to a hillbilly child.

Is this exaggerated for humor or is it a real thing that really happened (really?)?

It's exaggerated. He cancelled Christmas to donate money to a hillbilly adult.

Remember when that one mod fantasized about news reporters being all puzzled about this crazy hot dog shack/local staple?

I donated and this is just depressing. Looking back I was pretty loving stupid, but I can't take any joy in making fun of the guy, even if he is loving up hardcore.

Well, you're missing out.

I don't think people shouldn't make fun of him, it's just that the thought of his failure fails to fill me with my usual schadenfreude.

EDIT: I can make fun of the idiot who cancelled Christmas, though.

A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...

I know a goon who can cook up some bacon dogs. Plus he pretty much lives in a shack

See THIS is what I don't understand.

If the shack was a few feet too big for the zoning law to be considered a "concession stand", instead of trying to turn it into a full fledged restaurant, wouldn't it be considerably less expensive to pay a general contractor to knock down the wall and rebuild it a few feet smaller to fit in with the zoning laws for a concession stand?

You tellin me you'd give in to THE GOVENRMENT'S demands? Probably Obama hisself wrote that 'law' to stifle small business.

Aw no now I ain't got no shack or money, OBAMA'S ECONOMY!

When I first saw the original thread title I assumed goons were fundraising for a dog shelter. Then I clicked on it, read the first post and thought, "wow, this is stupid" and thought nothing of it.

Now it's just pure gold.

GBS just got too big for its britches getting Pitbull to play in Kodiak. They shot for the stars with a big dumb hot dog stand and instead gave a racist hillbilly some spending money. Great work.

It's a shame. Most people learn the important lesson of being careful about what you donate your money to through personal experience. Not by having their dumb parents ruin christmas for them.
