What the heck does this prefix mean?

Is it "para-"? Or "that which surpasses"? Or maybe "vaguely connected to, in ways that defy understanding while evoking images of ancient sumerian cities?"

Or, maybe it's "(o)ur-", hehe.

What he said!

(But on the side, I do think Ur Dead is a fantastic name,as in 'you are dead' as well as the Covenant association

)

Maybe it means one who is a Lord/Vile/whatever, but achieved it through non-traditional means.

I have no idea what it means.

I'm not sure where I get this useless ass info, but it means partaking of but not officialy part of the original whole.

I had originally believed it to mean pertaining the similarities of its ancestors or of its leaders. However, Sherlock's definition is more applicable.

It's nice to know some of the useless crap I know comes in handy once in a blue moon.

In the Gradual Interview was wrote:
Considering my background, it's a bit peculiar that I have in some sense misused the "ur-". Among English majors--at least of my generation--"ur-" denotes "original," but it connotes "hypothetical." It refers to an original which we believe to exist, but which we do not possess. I twisted that quite a bit with "ur-viles" and "ur-Lord," trying to suggest an artificial and possibly corrupt relationship.

Nice..

So instead of being Originally Dead, I am Artifiically and in a Corrupted Relation with the Dead..

Sounds right.

You want to apologise? How about you mend the pieces of my broken hearts?

[edit] I apologise. That was harsh. I shouldn't set people impossible tasks.

Just bring me either a) a black lotus, b) mend ONE of my broken hearts, or c) the head of Barry Bostwick.

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2007 6:42 am**

Well don't know about the lotus or your hearts, but I can cetainly try for the head of Bostwick

I'll also need the head of Susan Sarandon. I have this daydream about using their severed heads like puppets and walking around making the puppets say, "ASSHOLE! SLUT! ASSHOLE! SLUT!"

Posted: **Fri Nov 16, 2007 7:06 am**

That might be difficult...seems like some people still like her...but hay whats a few severed heads between friends?
