I'm new to the GetLazy Forums so I don't know many people. LazyTown is all about sports so I thought I should ask you all: What's your favourite sport? Mine is basketball or swimming.

Re: sports
Best sport is baseball imo. Love the atmosphere & going to the ballpark. Most fun to play probably volleyball or badminton only because I'm good at them. Or bowling cuz it's a sport for shlubs w/ AC and a snack bar. :soccer:

Re: sports
My favourite sport is most definitely snooker.
The entire atmosphere is just so amazing and calm during a snooker game, but the tactical frames can also be equally exciting.
I have a lot of football friends, and they're always going on a bout which team is the better.
"Who do you follow?" "Why them, they suck!"
They sometimes force me to watch their team play, and I'm constantly nodding off. I just simply see no point in running back and forwards after that silly little ball.. >.<
Meanwhile, when I'm at home, I randomly zapp through the channels, and accidentially land on a football match.
I'm almost blown away by the sheer loudness and yelling, all from the different fans.
Nah, snooker is definitely more my type of game.
Especially if it's involving the guy below, which is my absolute all-time favourite player. ;)
I'm as sneaky as can be. None's sneakier than me.

Even more so, it was actually Magnus that chose snooker for him!
"In his 20s, he made a bet with a friend, Fjölnir Þorgeirsson, that each could master a sport of the other's choosing he knew nothing about in three years. Magnús chose snooker for Fjölnir and Fjölnir chose aerobics for Magnús. Just as Magnús became a champion in aerobics, Fjölnir became Icelandic champion in snooker."

It's apparently from a final between Valsson and Þorgeirsson, where our friend Fjölnir unfortunately lost.
But hey, even though the Icelandic snooker scene is not too big, a second place is never bad!

It's not like you crazy Scots, where it seems as if half of your population was born with a snooker cue in hand... :icon_lol:

When I think of whiskey, I think of the purest single malt, shipped directly from the whiskey-capital of the world - Scotland.
I'm enjoying some Glenfiddich variants for the time being, but literally anything "Glen" produced is good enough for me.
And don't try to convince me that any of the blended crap from Tennessee is better.
The only thing that's good for, is mixing with coke, which is not how true whiskey should be consumed..

I've always been very passionate about the game, but the last time I stood infront of the 12 by 6 foot table, I got too afraid and backed out.
The only thing I play is a Danish "5 pin skittle billiards", which sometimes bring a free beer in the local pubs.. ;)I'm as sneaky as can be. None's sneakier than me.
