tommysmo Jan 30, 2009	Nice!!!!! I didn't get it but I liked it!
dswilborn Jan 30, 2009	Good - I figured it was ominous tones... missed the over part!
braingle100 Feb 03, 2009	that teaser is hard!
kwelchans Feb 03, 2009	If it's "om" in "ous", shouldn't the first part be ouoms?
perrygf Feb 22, 2009	Way too hard!!!
Jimbo Feb 25, 2009	I agree Kwel!
Zag24 Feb 25, 2009	Seriously, guys? A rebus just has to get you to say the sound of the word. It isn't meant to be letter-accurate. "Om in us" has no other pronunciation but the correct one. Consider this rebus: brainteasers/44081/seating-chart.html (I can't post the whole URL because the comment software won't let me.
kwelchans Feb 26, 2009	Sorry, I guess I'm being too nitpicky. It was a good teaser.
squishysqueak Apr 08, 2009	it took me a minute, but I got it! Very clever.
bradon182001 Apr 18, 2009	Well done. I didn't get it, but not for lack of trying. Thanks for posting.
TallTimber Mar 09, 2010	Clever rebus.
thebrain789 May 20, 2010	Didn't get it 'cuz I didn't try. Oh, NOW I get it! Thanks, comments! "Om" in "us!!!" (It's subtly scary because it is, especially late at night. Ooh, scary!)
