Plasticarmy on facebook
- An Online 24-7 Recruiting StationThis is the best way to follow Plasticarmy's defensive and occasionally offensive campaigns in pursuit of truth, justice, and the Old Weird American way. It's also an idiosyncratically curated selection of videos, images, and links from less wandered nodes of the internet. Click the link below and give me a 'like' to stay connected. I promise to keep things interesting.
