And as I woke up the next morning and confirmed the news, on friend Kevin had a post on his Facebook wall involving “The Smiler” from the comic series “Transmetropolitan”. ![]() I was utterly dismayed and ashamed of the way that our Presidential Election ended up.

Features of a Tumble Washable RugĪ Tumble washable rug has a few notable features that make it an amazing rug. I plan to talk all about this in my Ruggable washable rug review (coming soon), but suffice to say, Tumble has answered all my main complaints with their washable rugs. In the past, I had purchased a Ruggable rug, and… well, it didn’t quite do it for me. And while Tumble rugs are comparable to Ruggable rugs, I would argue that they are actually better. The Tumble washable rug is a main competitor to the Ruggable brand. ![]() So having a rug that I can throw in the wash gives me one less thing to worry about. My rugs get dirty from kids, from my dog, and from all the home projects that I do.

What do you think it is about the notion of heroes fighting each other instead of villains that fans seem to like so much? And also, why can’t they just get along in the first place, aren’t they heroes? Parker: What I like is when instead of it being a misunderstanding, it’s like it is here - Swamp Thing had very good reason to do his big stunt with the world’s algae, and Aquaman had just as good reason to be alarmed by it and not simply take some marsh monster’s word that it wouldn’t happen again. ![]() So I think if he were really motivated, it would get pretty ugly! IGN: We’ve seen heroes meet, misunderstand, fight, and then make amends time and time again. Was this ever a fair fight given that Swamp Thing is pretty much a plant god? If this were a battle to the finish, would Aquaman even stand a chance? Parker: Aquaman can be pretty deadly when he wants, and he has the resources of Atlantis.
