HIGNFY reference

It's perhaps not too notable, but in the BBC news comedy quiz Have I got News For You, season 36 episode 4 (check Youtube), he's repeatedly referred to (and even the caption says so) as Randy Bumgardner. Which we Brits find funny :) Malick78 (talk) 10:06, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Bumgardner is a different person who works (or worked) as part of the White House administrative staff. Many Americans of German descent anglicised 'Baumgardner' to 'Bumgardner' at some stage, as the word has no unusual connotations in the US. It's quite a common surname. British people generally find the name very amusing because of the significance of some of these words in British English. 'Randy' means horny, 'bum' means anus, and a slang term for a homosexual man is 'uphill gardener'. A rough equivalent for an American would be a Brit named 'Horny Fruitass' but I don't think such a name exists in reality. --Ef80 (talk) 12:05, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware, to everybody's great sadness, such a name is not in common use. (Da5nsy (talk) 18:09, 15 October 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Bum actually refers to the buttocks, not the anus (from the latin word for ring). A more realistic Americanish mirth-ism comparable to Randy Bumgardner would be something like "Horny Buttgardner". One wonders what the Americans would think if a Brit told them that they got butted by a goat...Yevad (talk) 15:57, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recent press reports

In June 2012, A TV station "Fox 13" broadcast a report that RB has had a farm employee who has a history of sex crimes. But, the report stops short of saying RB did anything wrong. The external link is [1], but at first blush it does not seem notewothy. Your thoughts? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 11:41, 17 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
