in the actual test. The test contains unrelated words to make it a little harder to remember them. Trump made up that list to describe the test because he could easily remember them (camera and tv were included, no doubt, because he thinks about cameras and tv all the time). The words in one version of the test are face, velvet, church, daisy, red; and I'm wondering whether he was really able to remember that list.

I see what you did there, though. But why Rowdy Yates? I couldn't even remember who that was.

Rawhide. Oh, yeah, you might better know the name of the actor who played him....

Clint Eastwood. Very cute and young then.

I was little, but I know I thought it was cool, and the theme song was EPIC-
The Blues Brother did it the first film.

I'm old enough to remember that it existed, I just didn't watch it. I'm old enough to remember listening to radio shows.

we conjured up the scenes in our devious little minds? During the school year I started listening as I was doing the dishes after coming home from school. First I had to listen to the end of the soap "Young Widder Brown". Then "Straight Arrow" came on.

I was born in January 1941 but I had nothing to do with the country going to war.

en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Rawhide_(TV_series, January 1959 through January 1966).

Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) was young and at times impetuous in the earliest episodes,

Rawhide theme song sung at Bob's Country Bunker by "Joliet" Jake and Elwood Blues in their 1980 movie "The Blues Brothers".
