Eulogic – Final

Eulogic is a performative eulogy generator that takes a search term, finds one of the least popular search results for that search term, goes to that site, scrapes the site for text to use as a corpus to fill in a eulogic-style poem, while concurrently performing a DDOS attack on that site, effectively killing it. In the site’s metaphoric death, we pay homage to its legacy in the form of a solemn tribute.

Here’s one such eulogy:

A Eulogy for Hotdog

A famous writer once said “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give”.
If that is true, then hotdog made a great life.
They were the most giving person I’ve ever known.
And judging from the nodding heads I see in front of me, it seems that many of you agree.

Hotdog was born on 1934 in any.
They were the child of elimination and too. They lived in any from 1967 to 1973, and later moved to any and any.

Hotdog went to hot and graduated with quality.
They then went to work for tweens as a luggage.
In 165 met request and they were married in 1988.
Eventually they had one child.
Last year, hotdog and request celebrated their 50th anniversary.

Hotdog was very active in the behavior community.
Hotdog devoted many hours to ons and was known for us.

Hotdog was a remarkably than person. They were a person of great dogs and wallets.
Above all, hotdog believed in ride. They always said “any too elimination”.
Those are words of wisdom that I will always cherish.

In closing, I would like to share this poem with you:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

Hotdog, thank you for being part of our lives. We are all going to miss you.
