That a bit of a difficult euphemism to get...
They are meant to be veiled meanings not hidden behind a brick wall.

Please tell me this isn't serious?

You really think you could easily take on a team of what is essentially a paramilitary group by aiming for gaps in their armor with a bow and arrow? Methinks you've been taking the Black Library books a little to seriously.

Im glad someone said it. I just didnt want to touch it with a 10foot poll. hes probably one of those guys think they would make awesome real life snipers because they can do it in TF2 and whatnot

Fear not Chowder, for all that time in MW2 has prepared you for the great task of Black Ops, which in turn will prepare you for the next challenge. So unsheath your gun and load your sword, and get ready to kill more infidels and terrorists and whatnot.

I just want to fight robots... and zombies... robot zombies...

Flaming zombie robots

Maybe her father was a Flaming Robot Zombie that stole her phone to lure her in to eat her?

That would certainly explain the despondency... wait no it wouldn't!
It would vindicate her decision to shoot her dad in the head though...

More like he was the phone. Ooooooohhhhhhhh!

KC, that made no sense.

We still love you, though.

Yeeeeeeeeeaaaa........ I suddenly felt like I was on the set of a tv show being recorded infront of a live audience... and you know when a character..... says something....cool....the crowd does the....OOooohhh......thing. Im sorry

Don't be sorry. Just put the apostrophe between your I and M.

Then MAYBE I'll accept your repentant soul. Maybe.

Look at ALL my 10k + posts, youll be able to count on 1 hand the apostrophes I use. Its my way of sticking it to the man.

Damn... You sir, have one one internets.

Use it as you wish.

Then they'd just say she attacked them or somesuch. "Despondent with a medical condition" sounds like a creative euphemism for self-inflicted injuries, which they probably couldn't legally say about a minor for privacy reasons etc.

Attempted suicide was my reading of 'despondent.' It's one of those words physchiatrist use to the media, to protect the subject's privacy, as Sir P says.

Sounds about right. I mean she did shoot her dad with an arrow, and then challenge the SWAT. Shes obviously not that stable

Maybe her Dad's Rambo and she's just following in the family footsteps?


Rambo, Jane Rambo.

She better have one of those sewing-kit/knife things for patching herself up, as well as a thorough reading of Ragnar Benson's works.

But then again, if you've read any books by Ragnar Benson, there's a 50/50 chance that you're not too right in the head.

Wait...so this guy gets shot in the head, by his own daughter I might add, manges to get in his car, drives to his friend, remain standing whilst asking them to call 999, gets in the ambulance, and is taken to hospital...without dying...with an arrow sticking out of his head.

Will he be my dad?

Wtf?????????????? No offence to americans but....... some american kids are messed up.

Unless it's through the heart or the brain, an arrow doesn't actually do all that much very fast, aside from inflict pain, since it stops up the wound it inflicts and just impales the body, as opposed to shredding and pulverizing it like a bullet would, or inflicting multiple injuries that go unplugged like a knife generally would. Generally arrow wounds aren't even incapacitating, with animals shot by bow hunters who don't manage to pierce their heart often fleeing for hours before collapsing, and humans having the ability to seek out medical attention, where they're very likely to survive (technically, with modern medical attention one has a pretty good chance of surviving being shot or stabbed too, only something like 7% of shooting incidents are fatal).

The head? I thought I read it was in his side.................................... am I scrambling up stories again?

Pretty sure it was the head. Then again, if history has taught us anything it is that I can't read.

You see? That's what I thought - Who the heck takes an arrow to the head from close range and walks off afterwards? Thus my assumption it failed to penetrate his skull.
Unless it was one of those arrows with the sucker tips that kids play with... That makes everything a lot more simple...

Thats what you ALWAYS say on these threads. Cant a psycho teenage girl just flip out and shoot her dad with an arrow anymore?

Sure, but you would think that, if she was psychotic, she would have started with bunnies, or something generally less authoritative than the old man.

She had hunting arrows for a reason.
