Unfortunately I'm a day late and $6 short, but this is the kind of meme shirts we need.

Someone on the PortalMaps reddit was talking about how awesome this shirt was:

I told him to keep that Brony shit out of Portal, since TF2 has basically become the Official Video Game for Bronies.

Oh, I see... everything that has the phrase "when life gives you lemons" is in relation to the Cave line "when life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade, demand to see life's manager, make life take the lemons back! I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Do you know who I am? I'm Cave Johnson, I'm the man who's going to burn your house down! With the lemons! Because I'm having my engineers invent combustible lemons to burn your house down! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons!"

Fact: I didn't go and listen to the line to post it... sad.

This shirt is in no way a reference to Portal... Maybe if the lemons were on fire or something, then sure.. But no.

But it's a reference to Portal 2. Besides, who doesn't enjoy a bit of lemon vodka.

How is it a reference to Portal 2? "when life gives you lemons" is a popular phrase, and was around before Portal came along...

You're right, the phrase has been around for a long time. And then the Portal fanbase, doing what it does best, took a huge shit on top of it in the form of endlessly regurgitated quotings, rehashes, and infinite memetic vomit, and forever ruined it.

Oh, and the fact that the artist said it was a Portal 2 joke.

Looks at lemon shirt
Hmm... Alcohol seems to solve everything.
Looks at Bronie picture
The only pony pictures I can appreciate are some of those "scary" looking ones.
Bronies, look at your own risk
