Hehe, yeah, that totally means I know all there is to know about professional sports, right? ;)
OTP: Barney/Robin. I can't help it! I just find their story so compelling, and I think there's so much to be mined out of their personalities and how they mesh together. Plus, there's SO MUCH good fic out there for these two, it would blow my past-13-year-old-fic-reading mind.
Runner Up: I freaking and totally love Lily and Marshall, even though they are a less annoying version of my best friend and her boyfriend (gasp! can it be true? yes. yes it can). Episodes like "Three Days of Snow" just turn me to mush. I really love how they are a couple with real problems and stay together without fizzling or causing a lot of drama (first/second season aside), and yet they're funny!
Honorable Mentions: Ted/Mother - I want to see more clues, and I wish they were able to keep the kids interacting without showing that they age. Alas. But I seriously love the episodes that remind us that this is what the show is about. I also have to give a shoutout to MacLendy, our Carl/Wendy ship that Mezz was so kind as to jumpstart. I really like the idea of them, though they've only been in the same room... twice? on the show, and the only sort-of interaction between the two that we've seen was them standing in line at Mark's wake.
Crack Pairing: Ted/Pineapple :)
Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't: Hrm... I'm not a big fan of Lily/anyone other than Marshall. Like Marshall, the thought of breaking marriage vows makes me sad, which cancels out the other enjoyment I'd get out of it. I generally stick to canon pairings, with the exception of MacLendy, and that's probably because I don't like being disappointed by the writers when something I ship doesn't happen or if it isn't supported. I do, however, still read some AU if the plot looks compelling enough.
