nightclub effect

The phenomenon that occurs when you suddenly perceive your previously mediocre looking boy/girlfriend as extremely attractive simply because other people are hitting on them. This phenomenon often occurs in nightclubs or discotheques.
Stacey looked alright last night at Marquee. But the nightclub effect changed my perception of her. I found myself having to deflect guy after guy who came up to flirt with her!

nightcrawler

The nocturnal pill popping, caffeine craving, nicotine-addicted internet creep that slides under the door sometime between 3 and 5 a.m. In these hours, the nightcrawler moves from room to room, longing for human contact and conversation. If none is available, he simply resorts to facebook, espn classic, or aim for communication to the outside world. The nightcrawler moves with stealth-like quickness powered by a nicotine-induced turbo from place to place, searching for fellow nightcrawlers. Determined to find out "what's up" with everyone, even if they're asleep.
Matt: Yea, Adam came into my room last night at 3:45 a.m.
Aaron: What did he want?
Matt: He asked me what was up...and then he told me that he just got back from the library.
Aaron: That's what he wanted to say at 3:45 in the morning?
Matt: yea...kid's a nightcrawler.

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.
