Ewok jokes are, by definition, at the ewok's expense...

On the other hand, i never thought of it, but that could well be a thing.

Does anyone know any good ewok jokes?

If not, can anyone come up with one or more?

 

Q: What Side of an Ewok has the most hair

 

A: The Outside

[USAFChief]

 

Tackar.

Apparently ChiTown is prepared to make Ewok jokes at your expense.

Speaking of ChiTown, has anybody seen what she did to my profile?

[Patrick Midthun]

 

Willie, Carl or Joe?

LOL I mean May. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Whatta ya do with an Ewok with 3 balls?

 

I'm going with E Walk Him

[USAFChief]

 

I'm going with E Walk Him

...and pitch to the droid.

 

Correct!

[Hrbowski]

Trevor May has thrown a lot of pitches.

[USAFChief]

Is that now THREE, count 'em THREE, hits given up on 0-2 counts?  In 4.1 innings.

 

FINE.  HIS.  ASS.

[ashbury]

 

OPS is now @ .941

Is good news but only half the story. I'd like some eyewitness scouting reports on his routes etc in the outfield.

Ewok jokes are only funny in their native Ewokian language -- their very dry humor does not translate well into English.  There are some bad Ewok jokes however.

Does May come back out for the sixth? Looks like he was losing (didn't have?) control of his breaking stuff.

 

It is encouraging that he can get strikeouts with his fastball-changeup combo, though.

Sooooooo... yes.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Well answered all.

 

I'm still trying come up with why an ewok crossed the road...

 

But the class of jokes that answer the question "what's grosser than gross?" may translate well with furry in place of gross... (The originals don't make much sense either)

 

I was thinking also of the movie "karate wookie" and its training scene: "ewoks on, ewoks off"...

 

er... i'm too lazy at the moment to think of more... and games need watching.

I would hope so.  He's gotta be the best guy in the rotation for the bulldog role.  Good chance to learn to fight through situations without his best stuff, particularly when they really need him. Would love to see him K a couple guys this inning.

[Squirrel]

Why'd the Ewok cross the road?

 

To get to Chief's lawn.

 

Chief: Get off my lawn!

 

Okay, that was bad, but the best I could do after a long day at work and just getting home.

[zchrz]

 

Willie, Carl or Joe?

 

Billie

Molitor with a classic Gardy move there. Pulled him as he approached the 100-pitch mark.

More than i done...

 

Now that i'm thinkin' about it, perhaps i'd answer "to crush the evil empire" and leave it at that.

 

Maybe teddy bears could feature in the answer?

[USAFChief]

concur.

[Platoon]

I was ruminating on the old standard also, why did the Ewok cross the road? But then it occurred to me that I have never saw an Ewok cross a road, which caused me to wonder why I would then care about why an Ewok would cross a road, which reminded me that I had never seen a real Ewok, which made the whole thought process moot!

[FattCrapps]

Duensing did his job.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Time's getting shorter for a comeback... I hope we can chase Chavez soon?

[USAFChief]

I'm fine with removing May there.

 

This is on Duensing, not Molly.

I would have pulled him when facing Lawrie.

[SydneyTwinsFan]

A lot seems to have been on Duensing lately...

I like May/Davis better than Duensing/Lawrie. Trevor is ticked. Well, we need to score runs to win anyway...

With 4 lefties in the pen it would be kinda nice if one of them could be a loogy.

 

edit: forgot Theilbar was back in AAA so 3 lefties.

I like Duensing/Davis better than both.

 

Unfortunately...

[Riverbrian]

 

Sooooooo... yes.

 

Yep and the walk... That Call... Kept him from finishing 6 and getting the QS

Liked that he came back out, and would have liked to see him work through a mild jam there in the sixth. Still, can't complain too much about that kind of outing from a guy who's technically still a rookie. Just got to get the bats going.
