Great news!!

You may not have noticed it, but look at the address bar in your browser.
It says haveahectic.com, right? I just bought the new domain and moved the tribute site onto it.
Why? Because I guess to y'all americans the domain "hylleonline.dk" probably looked quite weird :-)
and then I finally thunk up a fitting domain name.
I hope you like it as much as I do and be sure to update your bookmarks. The old address will redirect for as long as it takes google to figure out the new URL for all indexed pages.

Mainly because listeners who get through say "have a hectic". Some say "have a hectic day", but one of the show's most used catch phrases is "have a hectic".
Secondly I believe the shorter a domain name the better.
But of course I could choose to buy haveahecticday.com too :-)

I think Soren made the right choice...shorter is better, and it more accurately reflects the usage most people have taken to uttering. Kudos for grabbing a catchy domain. Now we to promote the crap out of it.
I find it amusing how Soren preferences "Americans" with "y'all". I mean, it's not like were a nation of grammatically challenged luddites.
It's just our elected leader that makes us look that way....

My ex-sister in law is from Texas and she used "y'all" all the time, so it's not just G dubya ;-)

Actually Bruce we are a country of grmamatically challenged luddites. I'm originally Canadian and although I don't speak the same slang as Britons, the English I learned, as far as grammar and spelling and proper use of go, is the same as what they speak in England. Americans, however, have created something affectionately called "American English," which is not Americanized English, but simply a bastardization of the language formerly know as English. I hear it every day I speak to my coworkers, friends and pretty much anyone else I come into contact with.
I live in South Carolina and practically everyone here says y'all, which is, of course, to be expected of southerners. When i lived in Florida I heard y'all just as much, from both the native Floridians, which surprisingly I happened to know a lot of, as well as from the black population. If you combine the "southern" and black populations of the US they will create a majority and I have yet to find a southerner or a black person who says "you all" instead of "y'all." It's funny but just last night I was watching Last Comic Standing and i had to post on the NBC message board discussing how bad of a comic Bill Bellamy is (the host of the show) and one of the reasons I used for explaining my distaste in his comedy, and his prowess at being a host, was that he uses the word "y'all." I explained that it's annoying when Larry the Cable Guy uses it, and it's annoying when he uses it.

You got me. Then again I only watched this season because of the Canadian comedians. Two comics from Toronto made it to the final 10 and I've seen one of them when her career was just starting, so I have to see how they do.
