I BOUGHT – yeah bought an Intel t-shirt while I was at the Intel Developer Forum last week.
Because bum doesn’t have the same meaning in the USA as it does in the UK. Bum here means arse here and ass there. Bum also means street bums. So I was with Rupert Goodwins and he suggested we buy loads of the t-shirts and give them out to the various bums on the street to wear.
Still, at this price tag, maybe we’d be better off organising a shelter or something. Of course with this particular “bum”, Intel is signifying its rather famous jingle, which you can hear here, if you want to.

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum bum, bum
This picture does not do you justice, Mike. :)
I’d wager that you’d cut quite the Johnnie Walker Swing wearing a BUMMMM-BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM over Oxford way.
I suppose that
BUM-BUM-BUMMMM-BUM
would be indicative of the times, Big Ben wise.
Thank god for readers. No, you’re right, it wouldn’t suit my big bum paradigm :)
