1K: Despite my fondness for butter churning...

5K: weirdly enough, I just watched a little of SOM on TV. Which had that scene where, finding out the hard way that the kids had put a frog in her pocket, Maria drops her guitar down the stairs.

7K: if airport I'd have heard of it. Guess shopping center. Hope use 50/50 & get same results as contestant.
