zakir in montreal came home one night to find his roommate tristan ferociously scribbling this note for his other roommate, vincent. apparently, tristan was baking cookies on saturday night (aww) and when he turned on the stove, the entire apartment filled with smoke from the charred cardboard from vince’s frozen pizza. says zakir: “vincent’s reply to the note was gold. he yelled: ‘well, maybe next time you should CHECK the oven before you turn it on….WHAT IF THERE WAS A BABY IN THERE?!’ and then slammed his door behind him.”
(adds zakir: “i’m not sure if those are hearts or flames all over the note, but i do know tristan’s face was scrunched with anger as he wrote it.”)
meanwhile, in clemson, s.c…there is a baby in that oven.

This one time at band camp…my wife was pregnant and had a craving for cucumber. I came home to find my sometimes neurotic wife didn’t even close the fridge after her frantic attempt to satisfy her craving.
Go team pregnant wife trumps all.

Is Tristan a bit fruity? (not that there is anything wrong with that). What’s up with the baking of cookies and all the little curls and stuff in his name?
A pregnant women’s
She needs some learning.

Since the posting of this note on Flickr and PAN, cardboards the world round bristle in fear.

My fav part is the smiley face after the not-so-subtle threat, the heart, and the command to love in caps…
LOVE ME! (or else..)

As to note #2, that’s some jacked-up tape that black mark used to post her note, ain’t it?

I’m in awe of the ferocity with which Tristan signed his name.

I hope Vince remembers to give the message to his other pizza cardboard friends.

I love Tristan’s “message” to the other cardboards! He sure is a cold-hearted bitch displaying that pizza-cardboard carnage like that!

Aren’t you never supposed to put the cardboard in the oven in the first place? Don’t these people know how to cook pizza?

Wait, how many people are pregnant again in Clemson?

what sort of person even thinks about the possibility that there could be a baby in the oven?

What’s a pregnant woman going to do to me, tell everybody I’m the daddy? Please.
What really irks me is that the note seems to be written by one of the quasi-lesbian, overly protective BFFs. You know who I’m talking about, the office harpy who thinks she must protect all the other women. At night she becomes the fat friend who can’t even be distracted by the best wing man.
By the way, Tristan is not a good wing man. Somebody who draws doodles on his own name is barely a man at all. Not that somebody named Tristan has a shot in the first place.

I hope all those roommate guys are gay and never decide to adopt. I mean, come on, a baby in the oven?
Or, having heard the phrase “a bun in the oven”, perhaps Vince thinks that’s where babies come from? Maybe THAT explains the cookie-baking on a Saturday night instead of the usual drinking and whoring of most single young men.

“Let this be a message to your other pizza cardboards.” It’s almost poetic, but really sounds more like something randomly-generated, like so many Spam email subjects.
I’ve never heard of the box pizza comes in referred to as a “pizza cardboard”, but I guess it makes sense.

the next step tristian will take is to leave a pizza cardboard in vince’s bed… right next to the severed horse’s head…

Honestly though, if a person really knows what’s best for them would they be eating pizza at all?
For god’s sake, fatso, have a salad.

The second note makes me question my decision not to have kids. Why should we let stupid people produce the next generation?

A Pizza Cardboard
sing-along with Janis!
Come on… Come on… Come ON! COME ON!
Didn’t I make it clear to scour the oven, man? well yeah,
An’ didn’t I catch you reading everything that I wrote out awfully candid?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I’ll call your bluff,
But I’m gonna show you, buddy, that this Tristan can be tough.
I want you to- come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, (make it..)
Make your motherfucking pizza and cardboard disappear. (grab it..)
Hey! Grab your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, yeah.
You know you got it, if your fingers burn good,
Oh yes indeed.
Your chow’s on the plate, cookin’ food, you leave it,
deep down on the grate- I guess you know that it ain’t right,
Never never never never never never never heed my cry, that’s right.
Bubby, I pile on the blame!
And each time I tell myself, that you’re constantly lame,
And when I open up the oven door, I see it’s still the same.
I’ll say come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah take it!
Take your your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, (make it..)
Make your motherfucking pizza and cardboard disappear. (grab it..)
Hey! Grab your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, yeah.
You know you got it, if your fingers burn good,
~~ guitar solo ~ ~
So come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, (make it..)
Make your motherfucking pizza and cardboard disappear. (grab it..)
Hey! Grab your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, yeah.
You rarely got it, … WAAAAAAAH!
Take it! Take your your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, (make it..)
Make your motherfucking pizza and cardboard disappear. (grab it..)
Hey! Grab your motherfucking pizza and cardboard, baby, yeah.
You know you got it, if your fingers burn good.

So the message to the other pizza cardboards is that they should take their cardboards out of the oven?
When you think about it [too much] a cardboard belonging to a pizza cardboard would perhaps be it’s child…or baby. Unless it’s just a pet, in which case the whole thing is moot.

Team Tristan. I’d want my roommate to tell me if there’s even a remote chance of his fathering children and leaving them in the oven.

….Welcome back to Iron Chef America . At the break we saw Bobby Flay writing something on a scrap of paper…Let’s throw it down to Kevin Bosch and see if he can tell us what it was.
(Kevin) : Well, Alton, Iron Chef Flay was pretty upset because sous chef Danny Riven apparently left a cardboard pizza disc in the oven.
(Alton): Oooh. No wonder he was so angry. In a tight battle like this you don’t want acrid smoke from burnt cardboard permeating the flesh of fresh baby. It’s…
(Kevin): Sorry Alton, our challenger has taken what we thought was baby tartare and put it in the ice cream maker!
(Alton): Ah, yes, fresh baby sorbet. I don’t know where that will fit in with his menu selection but I’m sure it won’t be dessert…
(Kevin):WOW! Bobby Flay just threw a live baby in a vat of hot oil! Look at it writhe!
(Alton): That must be a something similar to Peking Duck. A lot of people don’t know that the original dish was prepared by throwing a live duck into very hot oil. Cruel? Perhaps. Delicious? Oh yes. The enzymes secreted during extreme pain change the flavor.
Since babies do have a very thick layer of subcutaneous fat, I suspect that this will prove to be an excellent course. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
(Kevin) :Now the challenger has turned up the heat on the oven he put the baby in at the start of the show.
(Alton) HMMM. That sounds like a Malaysian dish known as slow roasted baby. But that normally takes days to execute. It’s odd because they normally use a toddler and not a newborn. Toddler’s have more conective tissue. Chef Otswa might run out of time on this one…unless he finishes it in a pressure cooker.
Kitchen Stadium is filled with the sweet aroma of simering baby stew. Bobby Flay is going back to the Ming Dynasty for an authentic take on Peking Duck. Baby sorbet and baby carpaccio are already on the plates. Can Chef Otswa pull off the impossible? Will Bobby Flay be undermined by scorched cardboard? The answers to these questions and more when Iron Chef: Battle Baby returns.
