Aperture Laboratories Christmas Tree

Aperture Laboratories wishes you and your designated loved ones a very happy holiday, and reminds you not to approach the decorative science topiary as it is highly radioactive and contains several varieties of weaponized “Christmas cheer.”

Nah man, I wouldn't want to fight Shawn, he's a cool guy. Eh posts funny vidoe gaem images and doesn't afraid of anything.

Besides, I only fight worthy oppone-

Nononononono my dear Alpar.
Chaos...does NOT follow the chain of command. It is free spirited. It is above any sort of order you impose.

Though a battleroyale between Shawn and Vabolo entices me. It tempts me to be chair eating Caeser reclining grape like...

The idea tickles me.

Come on Vabolo! I believe in you and your Grammar Hammer! Show me its mite!

Sir, our math shows that Portal is equal to or greater than Christmas!
Reply
Well, check your numbers again!
Wait, why am I complaining? Hah! This is great news! Caroline, make sure someone runs down to Black Mesa to rub that fact in. Everyone else: let's do some science!

So are you working hard, or hardly working? BA-DUM TISS!!!

Chell's going to be very disappointed when she finds that the cake is actually a Fruitcake

At least the weight lets them be excelent for pressing buttons.

Companion Cube is officially forever alone.
Reply
It should be pretty laser proof too.
Reply
However, you couldn't incinerate it should it become...Cumbersome.

In which case, you simply hand it over as a gift to the next person in your family, and the cycle begins anew!

Any cake is better than no cake.

With Fruitcake, that's debatable

No Chell, No, the Christmas pudding is not the cake. Yes Chell, Yes it's supposed to be on fire. No Chell, No you're not supposed to eat it when it's on fire. Yes Chell, Yes you are on fire you can at least say something about it you bloody eejit.

Cave Johnson Here.

Now, I told the lab boys that the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device is not a toy. They told me it was research. So I told them where they could put their Christmas trees. I then had portals set to fire under their chairs during the next conference, only because I knew that they wouldn't be able to figure that out on their own. I didn't know that trees had so much penetration power when dropped from five stories. I thought it was a riot.

Needless to say, the lab boys were picking their wedgies for weeks after last year's mention of a Christmas bonus. The best part is: I haven't heard a peep about it at all this year. Looks like somebody learned their lesson.

Cave Johnson. We're done here.

Baby Jesus makes a great button weight, now if only he was cube shaped...

I kept getting annoyed by how this image was getting circulated.

Then I realized it's not photoshopped.

There are so many portal submissions I think I'm starting to see portals on my walls...

I want to have your walls.

The Lab Boys report that Quantum Android Santa was not quite operational yet. You will have to do with the regular, non-radioactive, Santa.

So, suppose I were to drop the contents of my silverware drawer (minus the spoons) into a vertically arrayed couplet of portals (for specificity, blue on top, orange on bottom) for around 30 minutes then rigged the portal gun to a remote trigger and pointed it at my fireplace so when Santa enters the chimney the blue portal opens at the bottom.

Would it be ironic if those forks and knives were given to me by Santa a year prior?
Reply
Lets see Santa try to put presents under this bitch.

I have a special security laser system for my presents. It requires a weighted companion cube, a portal gun, and some egg nog. You don't want to know how you use the egg nog.
Reply
I could say this was a waste of time and effort, but then I'd just be gramer.
Reply
Now you're thinking with... I'll just show myself out.

You'll never escape...
