I think it's really cute that he's using his Doobie's Doghouse 'person' account, to post on his Doobie's Doghouse 'business' account, rather than just posting as the business.

I never thought I would be obsessing over a hot dog stand, but here I am I suppose. Goons are awesome when they need to be.

PS - Mom's message was pretty cool. She's wrapped up in KS and Frogout as a likely 70 yr old.

Even if the shop closes in a year due to a lack of traffic or customers, we at least gave this guy a shot at his dream. Kudos to Noni, when I read his post the other night I couldn't help but be affected.

SoundMonkey posted:I did say that the $100 and $500 contributors probably actually do want their rewards though. Well, you tell him I have no interest in my rewards, the only thing I want to see is a drat good hot dog house.  Seriously, I'm not going to make it out to be some romantic thing. I was chilling at my friend's place, having a few beers. I saw the thread and thought, "You know, I just got done with my current job in preparation for my next job, I have no immediate expenses and 2 weeks of vacation time cashed out, I want this fucker to get his hot dog restaurant."

I can only chip in a little, but  more for the cause. And I put the word out on Facebook - let's see how high we can push this guy's dream.

Pledging now to throw in by this weekend, first I have to get paid and cover bills first. I wonder what he and his wife are thinking when they look at the kickstarter and see, at this point, that they are $2,000 over what they were aiming for. FROG DOG?!

Holy Calamity! posted:Imagine the logistics... As a one-off, it was a hassle: 14awg copper wire I had lying around bent into various shapes and then heated over a torch and applied a couple times for each letter to get it to really show up. En masse? A custom-made one-piece brand left on a bed of charcoal would make it add just a few seconds per dog.

doobie posted:the last challenge is wastewater hook up.. I have'nt found the existing sewer main on the property yet, but I know its there I have to give him money. I know he doesn't really talk like a fictional private eye, but I know its there. Also, anyone who can make rent and lives in a place where everyone can find a sewer main--toss the guy a few more regardless how much he has. I mean, seriously, he's so decent and humble he's practically a kid's book. I think what I like about him most is that he's so damned optimistic, all while putting everything he can at hotdogs while living in a shanty town. It is ridiculous and I'm genuinely disappointed that there will be some people who will get starbucks tomorrow instead of giving it to a guy who would actually do something useful with $5.

From the FAQ, responding the question "What happens if you don't get funded?"WAYNE posted:if i'm not funded then not one single person will have there credit cards charged by amazon..but lets not think that way,thats to scarey, so, say i do reach my goal. of $6000.. then the amount that you so graciously pledged will be deducted from the source you provided and i will then receive that amount... Everything I read not only tells me he honestly seems like a good man, but also that he's honest-to-God putting his hopes and dreams in a hot dog bun, so to speak.

FAN OF NICKELBACK posted:I mean, seriously, he's so decent and humble he's practically a kid's book. The kid's book has already shown himself more mature than a sizeable chunk of goondom by not emotionally imploding at the first sign of someone calling his effort or intentions into question! Noni posted:It seems the blog writer had a change of heart as well. Yay! I can see why people may be asking him if it's a scam or mention it, right now if you Google Doobie's Dog House (say if you were trying to find out if it's legit or why it's making so much money), the 6th result is "Kickstarter Scams: Doobie's Dog House | Noyemi K". This thread is on the second page of results. Not surprising, the first responses to his KS in the Awful KS thread mirrored the sentiment of the original blog post. The criticisms are fairly valid; however, information is all about the context. Noni put the same information in a new context by adding more background and some emotion people can connect to and identify with. EDIT: Was wondering what kind of income Wayne had right now and/or how he was getting the initial funding for this shop. I saw this on the hotdogprofits site in his thread:  Also extra at people here posting congratulations to him and responding to a troll on the hotdogprofits Doobie thread.
