...innit?

For nighthoover it's very appropriate.

Absent, you mean?

Is this in this weeks post then? n i g h t h o o v e r Nocternal eraticness prevails again maybe this is a sign, a sign of a great thing, a sign a sign of a great holey prophetibable and nighthooverly thing, a sign of a sign to incidate that it is a sign that the sign is the sign and that the nighthooverly and nighthooverlyness is of the sign and in the sign and the sign is nighthoover?

... and a blob toboot!

I noticed it was indeed in the Post just after posting that post, as it was about time I went to read The Post, I thought I'd look we'l have to get writting some more, I think there are three installments currently

Something I've just noticed: all the 'teh's have been corrected to regular 'the's! Sacrilegious!

I thought something was oh well, nighthoover movies in strnage ways and teh corrections can be nofing but a deviine intervention

A nighthoover movie? What a briliant idea!

Yet agnai a nighthooverly typo gives rise 2 a great new idea, a nighthoover moovie! Who would play who though? Any ideas?

Wait, are we talking about the movie version of the story, or about tyhe movie version of the nighthoover cult thingy? (Now that'd be !)

Claude Rains will play nighthoover obviously!

Brilliant! (too bad he's been dead for quite a while now)

'Round up the usual suspects' - one of the best lines of all times.

It's this role that brought him to mind: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024184/

Wow, he's been dead for almost 40 years!

...Which actually means he'd make a perfect nighthoover, since he doesn't really need to show up at all.

How about Jet Lee to play nighthooer? Or Michael Cane?

*shrug* Dunno...

How about other characters though?

I could have George Formby play me?

Problem is I don't think the movie would have that much of a plot... I mean, what do you have besides a bunch of insane people spending way too much time on their computers?

Maybe we should start by making a Night of the Hoover movie - that way we can attract some audience, which will of course turn into devoted nighthooverite believers, at which point they'll watch practically anything.

(Interior, view out the window to reveal a dark and stormy night)

Camera tilts down from rain splattered window to keyboard of computer. Fingers type slowly.

Slow tilt up and over to computer screen where the words slowly take form in a Hootoo text window:

"i want 2 cancel this account what 2 do"

Dimly reflected in the screen is an odd face, indistinguishable at first but then as it begins to almost radiate it's own blue-green light seems to change into a myriad of faces. Like the very internet that pulses on the other side of the screen the face reflects everyone, everyhow, everywhen.

Cut to carpet level shot where the very nap of the floor covering is it's own jungle, complete with cracker crumb boulders and cat hair vines. Music swells as a deep thrumming hum increases and credits appear magically amidst the detrius of the rug. The hoover passes over this part of the floor, sucking up some of the dust dirt and grime as well as the first set of credits.

"Badger Pictures Presents...."

After those words are sucked into the mighty hoover, the next appear.

"NIGHTHOOVER - THE MOVIE"

And so on until all credits have appeared and been sucked.

The camera slowly tilts up to show the shadowy silouette of someone operating the hoover, back lit by the huge full moon seen through the window.

Cut to:

Scene One.
