Do you ever talk to people irl and you have these normal conversations but the whole time you’re just thinking “you have NO idea about the weird shit I do on the internet”
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, lord and ladies, Your Majesty, this is your captain speaking, Captain Wing Commander Sir Arthur Shappey, welcoming you aboard this world-record breaking attempt flight around The World. Passengers on both sides of the aircraft should have excellent views of… The World. If you find we’re going over a bit of The World you like the look of, do please ring your little bell and one of the cabin crew will fit you with a parachute and chuck you out. Otherwise enjoy the flight, and when we get to Sydney do keep an eye out for the Sydney Harbour Bridge: I’m gonna have a crack at flying underneath it!”
