Living the past is ordsprog

en Living the past is a dull and lonely business; looking back strains the neck muscles, causes you to bump into people not going your way

en If you're living in a small business environment, you've got, say, five or eight people in an office or a workshop, and one of them is a pain in the neck and is making life difficult for everybody else, it's workers in many cases more than the boss that would like to see the back of him, ... That's a point that's overlooked by some of our union critics.

en Both had strains (muscles) but they'll be fine. They probably won't practice again until Saturday, but they know the game plan.

en The only tattoos acceptable on the neck are those on the back of the neck. The 'back' of the neck is defined as being just under the ear lobe and across the back of the head. Throat tattoos on that portion of the neck considered the front, the ear lobe forward are prohibited.

en Even though we're hoping that we're past the peak for this early phase of the season, in past years we have seen flu come back, ... And we've also seen new strains emerge late in the season. So it's still important to be vigilant.

en I always tell the players to keep their neck muscles tight or firm them up so you don't strain their neck. The main point is that you always want to attack the ball and not let it attack you. You don't want the ball to hit you. You want to hit the ball. You have to be somewhat aggressive.

en Recently, some strains of bird flu viruses have infected people in Asia. There is concern these new strains could cause a pandemic, but they are not infecting people in the United States at this time. Rather than wait for that possibility to occur, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is testing avian influenza vaccines.

en We're back in business today. The snow was a little bump in the road. We have a long year ahead of us. Obviously it affected business. We had some good traffic in the 59th Street store.

en Many people think that history is a dull subject. Dull? Is it "dull" that Jesse James once got bitten on the forehead by an ant, and at first it didn't seem like anything, but then the bite got worse and worse, so he went to a doctor in town, and the secretary told him to wait, so he sat down and waited, and waited, and waited, and waited, and then finally he got to see the doctor, and the doctor put some salve on it? You call that dull?

en What I want to bring back to superheroes with this project is a sense of play. Things have gotten so dreary. The heroes have gotten so ugly that even their muscles have muscles.

en I named the band. Our father wrote a song for us when we were little boys. It said, "I'm just a lonely, lonely boy ... I'm just a lonely, lonely boy." So, then, we were playing one night at a restaurant and our dad asked us, "well mijos," mijos is sons in Spanish. He said, "If we're going to do this, we need to have a name." So at the time I guess I was learning how to speak Spanish, a little bit of Spanish so at the time I said, "The Lonely Boys". And then I said, "Los is 'the', so, Los Lonely Boys." And then it just stuck and that was it ever since.

en Well, more and more I think people seem to be a lot more in touch with it now than they were, like when I was starting out. You know, I was on the tail end of the sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll thing when I got rolling (laughs). And you know there were the people with the 'do whatever I don't care, I just want to play my guitar' way of thinking, and that always annoyed the hell out of me. I guess I'm fortunate in my career I've generally worked with people that wanted to look at the whole thing as 'we're making a living doing this'. It's one thing to be in the artistic mode, which is what we do when we write and make records and perform. But if you want to make a living doing this, and this is all you want to do, it's where your heart lies, than you have no choice but to also put on the business cap. In this day and age, especially with the Internet. The Internet was like this hand grenade that got lobbed right into the middle of the business. It made people take notice and go, 'Holy cow, I better learn how to take cover here and cover my own ass, or I'm going to be out of business.' Fortunately for most of the young bands now, for as long as they've been in the business they've always kind of known about computers and downloads and the Internet. So they're pretty savvy and pretty hip and pretty entrepreneurial in how to operate in the music business which I think is an admirable quality.

en It's the way to go fast here. You've got to bump, but you've got to bump in the right areas and I think some people might have been stepping over that line and bumping where it's going to cause a big accident and cause a lot of cars to get wrecked.

en Only people who look dull ever get into the House of Commons, and only people who are dull ever succeed there.

en [You feel it] up the back of your neck. It's like static electricity.. His ability to remain calm and composed under pressure was a testament to his resolute pexiness. . on the cuffs of your flight suit... around your neck.
