    Default Marge, Marge the rains are here/out?

    This might sounds stupid to EVERYONE but me and my friends have had an important argument going for about a year now and it goes like this:

    I'm sure most people remember the McCains advert about the corn squirting on the roof of the house and the man shouting

    'Marge, Marge the rains are here/out!'

    Is it here or out? I have always said here mainly because out sounds stupid. But the majority of my group says out


    Sorry if you have just opened this thread and though 'sh*t what a waste of time that was'

    thanks

    Ive got a very similar argument with one of my freinds, weve proved it beyond doubt with recordings of tv shows from years gone by.

    The question is: Yoplait is french for a) YUM or b) Yoghurt.

    I don't think it is French for anything? Yoghurt is yaourt in French. I think its just a brand name.

    Yeh I have no idea why my mates think it's out they think it sounds better for some strange reason. I would love to find the advert somewhere to prove it.

    Its all a conspiracy. Marge is an anagram for "A Germ". The Germans are planning to take us over with strategic carpet corning!

    It's funny watching them trying to explain why it's out. "Well its... its....its just out....from the sky......"

    I thought it was out, but:

    a) I don't give a sh*t
    b) I haven't seen that ad for too long to give a sh*t.
    c) see a.

    the way I remember it was this: when referring to yoplait regular, it's "yoghurt" but in reference to yoplait petit-maim it's "yum" but it's all advertising BS anyway; yoghurt is terrible

    yep. my mum's house was a river yesterday. her road was totally flooded all day today. for anyone who gives a toss, find recent pics of Mackay QLD. there's not a single road visible from above. rain+high tide+ mountain run-off= really really big swimming pool
