This quote by Vance is hilarious.

Fantastic lineup for the TPUSA halftime show, including the great Bob Ritchie AKA KID ROCK

Wow, tell us more about how cool Bob Ritchie is. So fucking embarrassing.

He looks like shit for being only 55!

Genuinely every time I see TPUSA my brain substitutes turning point for toilet paper. Same result, so I refuse to correct it.

I forgot what their real name was for a couple weeks.

Me too!! I actually almost edited my comment to say that it sounds like a commodity bathroom tissue manufacturer.

Literally every time I have to remind myself it’s not toilet paper and I chuckle.

They chose an appropriate acronym, that’s for sure

My brain thinks its some kindof offensive reference to a body part like "FUPA."

Don't give toilet paper a bad name now.

[–] SlothMama@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay but what does the TP mean?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Nothing of consequence.
