You think all air traffic controllers are going for like a fuckable Orson Welles vibe, or is it just this guy?

Apparently Orson Welles *was* fuckable back in the day. Dude nailed Rita Hayworth. And she kept mementos of him for years.

Thank you for flying Necromancer Airlines. Smoking or non-smoking? I’m just kidding, man that joke never gets old. Of course these days, it’s ALL smoking, but I still love asking.

reply

ladamatenebrosa.bsky.social•7 hours ago

I feel a little better at my double take - skims headline, sees photos, pauses, zooms in, “He’s got more jewelry on than I do. Wait, is that a cigar?” Checks headline again, scrolls back to photos, “Some eyeliner would smoke it up…” I know I’ve got a little control fetish going on, but sheesh.
