Non-Standard Specimen

I swear that’s the best I could come up with.

What if that other combustible lemon launcher we showed off a while back breaks down? Back to throwing them all over the place? No, sir! Get another one!

Made by Forte-Girl over at DeviantArt, this thing will allow to burn down all the real estate properties of life’s manager, including, but not limited to, his most prized one of all – his house. I’m not so sure about putting 3 lemons in there, though. If one of them accidentally goes off, then so will the other two, and then burning down life’s manager’s house is going to have to take a back seat to “repairing your lemon-scorched visage”. Check it out at DeviantArt.
