Dear musick: I used to be nuts about tennis, but lab courses ended my tennis days, and I have not been able to participate in any sport for almost sixty years. But I can still enjoy reading about it. And I don't consider it BORING.

Darts (not too good), Pool (pretty good)...

got your own schtick, musick? (there's a potentially rhetorical question!) bring it on over, and we'll see if you're pretty good. when you've had enough, I'll let you win at darts so as to restore your self-esteem.
-joe (8-ball is for bars) cool

It's a question of musick's a-cue-stick properties.

I can see that one of the events of Wordapalooza! will be a pool tournament. It is important to note this now, so that I can get the laundry off the table in time ...

Let's see, musick...my strongest sports are/were baseball, ping-pong, pool, bowling, badminton, darts...and in the barroom of the historic inn at our village I'm getting pretty good at skittles, the table-top variety (by the way, I hear skittles is still pretty popular in England and several varieties of the game are played, is that true...any Brits here skittles aficionados?...any background or insight into the game would be helpful and appreciated...or perhaps that's a new thread?)

>bowling

when I were a lad, I was a member of the ND state champion HS bowling team (remember, we're talking ND here!). but this belongs on a non-sports thread.

I can hit the board in darts, (where I hit varies from game to game) I play pool well enough to win against my friends, my little brother, and my cousin if she consistantly hits the 8 ball in too soon. (She usually wins, though.) I can play shuffleboard, and win half the time. There are others, but I can't be bothered to think of them.

Does hammock swinging qualify?

it's undoubtedly better for you than bowling, considering the beer and second-hand smoke that generally come with the latter.
