nightwish

A wonderful Finnish band. And no, I'm no HIM/Rasmus-loving teeny. I know good music, and Nightwish is good music.

Random Guy: Nightwish suck ass, only HIM/Rasmus loving teenies like them.
Me: I'm no teeny. And I like them.
RG: ...damn...

nightwish

An pretty good band from Finland. They aren't my favorite band ever, but they are still a pretty good band. Plays catchy melodic goth/power metal and made one of the best Metal albums ever, Century Child.

Some poseur kid who listens to nu metal: AGH FUCKING POSEURS NIGHTWISH SUCKS LISTEN TO LINKIN PARK FOR REAL METAL

Me: Linkin Park aren't metal. They are pop-rock with a very slight metal influence. Nightwish is one of the best metal bands out there, shithead.

nighthawking

The act of two men meeting up, having a vicious fight - then giving each other one up the plopper.

Jack was covered in bruises and walking like John Wayne... He'd been nighthawking again.

Nightwished

a process in which a person (most frequently a band member) is being excluded from a group (most frequently a band) because they no longer wish to play with him/her

Jane's project group kicked her out of the team - poor girl got Nightwished.

Nighthawks at the Diner

This 1975 live studio album was Tom Waits' third release. It begins with a bit of sax, percussion and an intro by Waits. He's a bit of a stage comedian, telling jokes between songs, and giving little introductions before them. The music is beautiful, as with all of Waits' live work. One of the best is Better Off Without A Wife, all about a stag and his love of being alone. Playing after that is Nighthawk Postcards, which is another great story, this time of a journey through a town past dark.

An excerpt from Nighthawks at the Diner's-
Emotional Weather Report

With tornado watches issued shortly
Before noon Sunday, for the areas
Including, the western region
Of my mental health
And the northern portions of my
Ability to deal rationally with my
Disconcerted precarious emotional
Situation, it's cold out there

F-117A Nighthawk

The F-117A Nighthawk is the world's first operational aircraft designed to exploit low-observable stealth technology. The unique design of the single-seat F-117A provides exceptional combat capabilities. About the size of an F-15 Eagle, the twin-engine aircraft is powered by two General Electric F404 turbofan engines and has quadruple redundant fly-by-wire flight controls. Air refuelable, it supports worldwide commitments and adds to the deterrent strength of the U.S. military forces.

The F-117A can employ a variety of weapons and is equipped with sophisticated navigation and attack systems integrated into a state-of-the-art digital avionics suite that increases mission effectiveness and reduces pilot workload. Detailed planning for missions into highly defended target areas is accomplished by an automated mission planning system developed, specifically, to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the F-117A.

an example of the F-117A in action was during the NATO bombing campaign of Serbia. The Serb military air defence missiles shot down the F-117A Nighthawk about 30 miles (45 km) west of Belgrade. The F-117A has been confirmed that the features and stealth technology makes it invisibile to radar. The F-117A has never before gone down in combat until the 27 march 1999. The Serbian milliary estimates that in the total war they shot down More than 100 Nato planes, including US stealth bombers, F-15 and F-16 fighter jets.
