Eulogy

“Ad Hominem was quite the character. He was the class bully for as long as I can remember. We all enjoyed yet feared him, even when he was wrong.”

--Factual Accuracy, Close Friend

“Raising Addie was quite difficult, he could be rude and disheartening when he didn’t get his way. But, look at him now, a lovely little angel, probably less rude and disheartening.”

“Ad Hominem could teach you things about yourself you didn’t even know. I’m so proud of my son.

--Steady Topic, Father

“ Ad Hominem and I always had our tussles as kids, and he would always seem to win even though I knew I was right. Something about him, I guess. All the bad things he said about me will stick with me always.
