I felt the same way about lisp and always reached for the same acronym when I was in college at UT. 7 years later I'm a huge fan of lisp (CL/Clojure/Scheme) and enjoy writing Clojure whenever I get the chance.
It's hard to appreciate the elegance of the language before experiencing years of pain working with others. I have similar feelings about learning Haskell (and not appreciating it) in college.
