It looks like tonight is the night Chris finally blows – will nicotine withdrawal play a part? The task is to come up with a new flavor of pizza (for DominosTM) and hawk it on the streets of New York – gah, I hate these tasks, I just don’t see what they have to do with being Trump’s lackey. Nope, nothing interesting for the preview – just startin’ the thread – see y’all back here at 9:00. ---

“Chris, why did you think tobacco pizza would be a good idea?” “I AM NOT A PIZZA MAKER, MR. TRUMP!” ---

the promo commercials show him losing it with more than one person, This should be good! I hope he lasts though, because it’s so fun watching him. ---

I don’t remember a farm of mutant radioactive plants. I remember him juicing some wacky tobaccy, though. ---

The task is to come up with a new flavor of pizza (for DominosTM) and hawk it on the streets of New York – gah, I hate these tasks, I just don’t see what they have to do with being Trump’s lackey. Well, the main reason they do them, of course, is that they’re fun television. On the other hand, being able to handle any crazy shit the boss throws at you is an important part of being anybody’s lackey, and in the Trump organization, I’d guess it’s more than usually important. ---

There’s the strong possibility that the promos highlighting Chris’ behavior may be a red herring. Let’s see what unfolds tonight. ---

My guess (and I could be wrong on this) is that the pizza that wins will be “Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza”. I ordered a pizza from Dominos last weekend, and the box came with a sticker hawking that, saying “Try our delicious new flavor!”. ---

The promos show Chris going crazy on Alex, right? IIRC, they are on different teams, so do you think they’ll be working at the same Domino’s? ---

Ooooh, bacon cheeseburger pizza’s my favorite. One of the chains here has been making them for years. It comes with sliced dill pickles on the side. YumMY! ---

I’ve spent tremendous amounts of money to build the best buffet in the United States. ---

Hee. Maybe we can ask Jerry to toggle the caps filter so it automatically disconnects when we’re mocking Chris isn **Apprentice** threads. Wait. Since he’ll probably be gone in half an hour, it’s probably not worth it. ---

$650 something to $530 something, I think. It does look like Chris’s outburst clip was a red herring. He was repeating what Alex said to him. Does anyone really consider “Get the f\*\*\* out of my face” a threat? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-apprentice-3-31-05/297064.md?page=2)
