Lol fair enough. I think goons believing in Doob only made things worse because he could point to his “fan base” as true believers in his half-baked restaurant scheme when there had to have been people in his life going, “no don’t do this you idiot”

Yeah, it was an act of Goon naiveté. All the signs were there that this would be a disaster, but yet the goon hivemind persisted.

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

yeah the cyoa was

a) applewhite having fun with whatever and drawing what people suggest
b) a bunch of goons enthusiastically encouraging the whole thing
c) some weird body horror Cronenberg stuff also 2 spaceships combine to turn into a giant gundam that jacks off a energy penis to search star systems

So, plenty to laugh at, especially both the people acting like it was all an excuse to jerk off, and the people defending it who took it way too seriously

Yeah, this is why I was hoping Doobie's wouldn't come up so much.

The highlights were the kickstarter with the dumbass mods talking about saving Alabama
Goons then cheering eachother on to send over $10,000 to Doobie
The reveal he was a racist
The opening of his restaurant
The one time goons went to the restaurant

The "Saga" at this point is more about the people who went loving insane for 5 years stretching out a handful of redneck facebook posts into tens of thousands of posts in a never ending series of 24/7 mock threads where they started calling him and posting the calls and harassing his wife. Even after doobie stopped posting entirely and closed his restaurant they were going for years after that. It was funny at the time and that DayZ/Starcitizen/Doobie thread was legendary but jeez.

Forever Mock threads lead to poo poo like multiple star citizen developer's wives getting harassed by thread celebrities or Tim Buckley having goons take pictures of his house.

Counterpoint: Garfieldeats thread is now several years old. Very little poop touching, no doxxing at all and no one has married Nathen (yet). It is endlessly entertaining

Also there’s still a Doob thread on the front page of GBS

mock threads should be gassed once there is nothing to talk about and goons start trying to dox people or start forming paranoid conspiracy theories that the rest of the forum is out to get them because the people calling them weird are actually secretly fans of the thing being mocked

That's why it was a highlight. He promised kickstarter backers a "Free Special" or whatever and after 3 people redeemed the offer they reported he argued with them about it and he then removed specials from the menu so nobody could ever ask for one again. It was like $20 in food and it wrecked him.

Like, people with MBAs/college degrees and decades of restaurant experience try to go into the business on their own and rack up 6 figure debts in a matter of years just to stay open. They open in cities with 10s if not 100s of thousands of people and are in highly visible and busy locations.

Someone wanted to open a hot dog stand in a town of 1200 people in poo poo poor rural AL. The budget was $6k. You don't need to know anything about the person to know that it was a terrible idea, way too little money, and doomed from the start for a lot of reasons. Tons of racist people successfully own and operate resultants, but Doobie was 100% not going to be one and the weird savior complex for the frogdog goons was kind of gross in retrospect.

Gas station hot dogs can go either way. Ersatz hot dogs you know for a fact aren’t right.
