Hey

How the heck did "hey" become a greeting? Don't get me wrong. I like it. It's somehow less formal and more friendly even than "hi". "Hi" is pretty nice, but "hey" seems to mean something different.

Looks like you got blog-spammed by the Computador. At least it came with a hug. Still, I think it'd take more than a hug to get me to "gives a last there (?!)" or buy the Dell craputers he/she/it's hawking.

BTW "Hey. Hay, eh?" does to make sense. It's two sentences: A greeting, and then a reference to hay. It can be used to acknowledge the importance of hay to another who shares your values or to refer to some recent situation involving hay of which you are both aware.
