What's a Ewker ?
I've been reading these posts for a while, and everything makes sense, except I can't figure out what an Ewker is?

Is it a piece of gear, a name, brand name, what?

In trail terms, a "Ewker" is the person who steals your kidney after you agree to hike with nuts from the Internet.

Oprah Winfrey
I can't type, sorry.

graduates have achieved in the academic world. Many have entered the professions of medicine, law, and education. Activities stemming from courses such as Choral Music, Instrumental Music, Speech, ROTC, and Civics led to organization of many extra-curricular activities. Various choral groups, a school band, drama club, student government, journalism and forensic activities achieved recognition as they won many awards at the local and state level. Some alumni who participated in these activities have entered careers in government and have served as elected and appointed officials at the local, state, and national levels. Several have had outstanding careers in foreign service. Others have made their mark in journalism or achieved careers in entertainment. The most famous of these is Oprah Winfrey, 1971 graduate.

Ewker graduated in 68. So he was a senior I guess, when Oprah was a freshman?

But Ewker has a fan club apparently.

Welcome, and thanks for coming to the new ewker.com. It's much better, the content doesn't suck as bad, and it will be updated a lot more often.

That makes no sense, TownDawg. You're saying that Oprah Winfrey and a Ewker are somehow involved with an invasion from space?

Another Ewker Hint..
"unless you'd rather spend your spare time with a machine instead of someone of the opposite sex I say go for something besides computer science. I used to want to study CS, but decided to go into digital media instead. I still feel like I'm surrounded by the next cast for Revenge of the Nerds, but it's not as bad as CS since a lot of the people in my department actually have lives. What I'm trying to say is that if you're interested in CS you can make good money if you're good enough, but think about what you're giving up and determine if it's worth it or not."

A ewker is a verb. As in, "OMG I've been Ewkered!", "Hey, Ewker off!", "Go Ewker yourself!", or my favorit, "Wanna Ewker?".

TownDawg, you seem to know an awful lot of details. Perhaps too many.


So far the verb form seems to make the most sense. Ewker off just seems to flow.

OK, time to take the bull by the tail and face the situation. Do you know what you are, or are you above yourself- assuming a Ewker is a noun and not a verb. ( or a puncuation mark)

Other uses are "Go Phulmer yourself," though in the chili household it is slightly modified to "Phulmer me!"

2) Enjoys working out at the gym, and goes to the Titans games or watches them on TV when they are playing on the road. He’d like to take a road trip to an away game.

3) Likes to cook but hasn't had the chance for a while.

v. ewked, ewk·ing, ewks

1) To hike while carrying a backpack.

2) To carry in a backpack.
