doobie's doghouse might have been one of the funniest things to come out of the forums. groverhaus is just the story of icarus without the ending but doobie's doghouse is legitimately approaching O. Henry levels of absurd irony. you had a bunch of kumbaya types get together to raise a shitload of money to help someone up they percieved as being a victim of circumstance, who was actually just poor and inexperienced because he was extremely impulsive and irresponsible. i don't remember any of the specifics but i distinctly remember a hood vent being part of the issue, something like he decided to 'expand' barely weeks after his business opened and the planned changes, that cost more money than he had on hand at the time, ended up forcing the health department to close his restaurant due to either active construction he refused to resolve or building code violations he also refused to resolve
doobie's incompetence wasn't the funny part, the funny part was all of the shitlibs with completely unrealistic expectations who legitimately thought giving this guy handouts was going to set him on the straight and narrow and set up a hot dog franchise. they weren't giving this guy a hot dog stand, they legitimately thought his bright eyed 'hot dog franchise' plan had some merit to it and i legitimately don't think he sold a single hot dog
