The Mighty Trent

Last week, I was fortunate to be able to see the final Nine Inch Nails concert on their Wave Goodbye tour. Midway through the show, Gary Numan came out and performed with the band for a few songs. Numan has also appeared in a cabinet on the epic show The Mighty Boosh, and I wondered aloud over Twitter if that meant uber-Numan fan Vince Noir might also make an appearance. I posed the question to the biggest Boosh fan I know, @bonniegrrl. This is from the epic tweetstorm that followed:
jaybushman: Gary Numan just took the stage. Can Vince Noir be far behind? #TheMightyTrent #NIN
jaybushman: @bonniegrrl: Trent is pulling some serious shapes. He's one of the? great frontmen. And he doesn't even need two hats. ? #TheMightyTrent #NIN

jaybushman: @bonniegrrl uh-oh, Mike Garson stopped the show for a lecture on Weather Report. Trent had to turn his back on him #nin #TheMightyTrent
bonniegrrl: I'd pay good money to see #NIN play “Nanageddon.” #TheMightyTrent #mightyboosh
bonniegrrl: @jaybushman: Bob Fossill is now dancing to “Head Like a Hole.” Bollo on drums! #TheMightyTrent #mightyboosh #NIN
bonniegrrl: @jaybushman: #NIN fans aren't sure what to think. Trent is dancing around in a mirror ball suit to the new sound! #TheMightyTrent

bonniegrrl: @jaybushman: Maybe #NIN can return as “Terminal Margaret!” #theMightyTrent
bonniegrrl: #NIN has dragged a bouncy castle onto the stage for an encore with The Moon and Gary Numan! #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh
jaybushman: They put the seat too far away for Tony Harrison to reach the drums. This is an outrage!!! #nin #theMightyTrent

bonniegrrl: Pen Pony and the Mutants have started a mosh pit in front of the stage! #nin #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh
bonniegrrl: Rudi and Spider are dueling guitars with Trent and Dave Navarro with The Moon as judge! #nin #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh
bonniegrrl: “Hurt” sounds like a happy crimp after hearing Howard Moon sing “Isolation.” #nin #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh
bonniegrrl: All Trent needs now is a tall northern jazzy freak with a moustache and no dress sense. #nin #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh
bonniegrrl: #NIN! NIN! Stronger than a pin! Don't lock your door or they'll come through your rooftop! #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh
bonniegrrl: A Camden leisure pirate just tagged Trent's leg! Gary Numan ran him off stage, chased by a shaman! #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh #nin

jaybushman: I hear that Robin Finck likes to wander around backstage wearing a false moustache and shouting “whiskey!” #nin #theMightyTrent
bonniegrrl: Some say he's 1/2 man, 1/2 fish. Others say it's more of a 70/30 split. Whatever the percentage, Trent's one fishy bastard. #nin #theMightyTrent
jaybushman: Trent, is it true that you are still an erotic adventurer? #nin #theMightyTrent
bonniegrrl: At the end of the show, Trent transformed into a mighty hawk! #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh #nin
jaybushman: @bonniegrrl A mighty hawk!! #nin #theMightyTrent
bonniegrrl: Trent is the storyteller! He'll decide when you've had your fill! He's the Juicy Dangler! #theMightyTrent #mightyboosh #nin
