We're all too familiar with the last one. No issues on the stack.

Refrigerator parts? There's a good business in those?
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

Both Meredith and Don mispronounced the correct answer. They gave the Americanized pronunciation.

So far, so good for me.

I think Meredith's pronunciation was deliberate - if she pronounced it "Oo-nee-vizh-ee-own" it would have given it away.

Yeah, I can't wait to hear how Don got onto the show. I wonder where he auditioned? They haven't been to Idaho since the Boise auditions in May '01, IIRC.
