One thing I can definitely say is I have never been arrested on my birthday.
Even though I may have inadvertently caused a small-scale riot on my birthday one time.
A legit crowdfunding ad for the talking Nostalgia Critic plush on the Shark Robot website. Plush comes with gun and bonus "2nd voice box".
Talking NC phrases include:
"I'm fundraising a game show--what can go wrong?"
"No, you can't plug your Patreon."
"What is up, my n***as!"
"Ooh, a cinnamon roll!"
"Your secret's safe with us, Justin."
"It's really a love letter to Pink Floyd!"
"We sincerely regret you feel that way."
Bad news for the Woking branch of Pizza Express: their most famous (alleged) customer has been arrested.

Really should dig out my copy of Rules of Attraction tonight.
James Van Der Beek was super underrated in that.
I'm sure that Spurs fans are responding to the news of Thomas Frank's sacking in a perfectly calm and reasonable...
