Missing Dad

Alright, Ramen, let's break this down for your little peanut brain. You said you haven't seen your dad since the 'shot of 2008'. This is a misdirection because you're using 'shot' to mean a picture, like a photograph, when the actual meaning is probably something way darker, like a vaccine or a gunshot. The humor is in the dark implication that the dad might be gone in a more tragic way than just a missing photo. The emo vibe is just you being a sad sack.
