Been really into Portal lately. I like how the game explores the concept of resolving the omnipotence-omnibenevolence-evil paradox with incompetence. Not to say I believe in a god. Far from it, but I have still always been fascinated with the idea of a god that can be panicked by it's utter failure to keep the universe in working order. Actually developed a pretty big crush on Steve Merchant over it; possibly the first male I've ever had an actual desire to sleep with. But this post isn't about that... well it isn't really about anything when you think about it. Anyway, here's some new art I felt like sharing:
For those of you struggling with the graphic, it means cake plus alcoholic lemonade and matches (combustible lemonade) equals a Portal-themed party with or without eyebrows. Now, to be a killjoy, Mike's has a very low proof, so chances are trying to burn it wouldn't work. It was just an example. If you want to actually make combustible lemonade to go with your cake, I suggest just getting straight alcohol (preferably vodka if you ask me) and mixing in sugar and lemon juice. Otherwise, it should work. In plenty of cases, the alcohol in food or beverages can be used to have a controlled burn be part of the presentation. You know what? Even if your friends or stepkids or whatever don't know what Portal is, bring a pitcher to your next party, church gathering, or other social event and you are guaranteed to be the talk of the party, receiving adoring comments such as "What's a portal?", "You mean that thing assholes are constantly quoting memes about at people who wouldn't care even if they knew what the fuck they were talking about?",  and "Yeah, I know that's the theme of the party, but even if it wasn't on fire no one is going to drink it because they're eleven-year-olds". Oh, good times.
