Used to like it, now can't stand it

[Solomon Zorn]

I used to like Christian music, now I can't stand it.

But as far as food goes, I find there are a lot more things that I like now, that I didn't used to. Not so much of the reverse.

I use to like (embarrassed to admit this) the xena and hercules tv shows (it was the 90s and I got into sword and sorcery stuff by then).

Nowadays I can't look back at the show without thinking what an almighty douchebag kevin sorbo turned out to be.

Man, no one is liking my favorite pizza toppings today!

Full disclosure:  I initially didn't like them and only ordered them because my brother hates them.  It preserves the territorial integrity of my portion of the pizza and was only mildly distasteful to me.  Now, I actually do like them but rarely get them because of the huge salt content.  Fortunately, he also can't stand black olives.  :)

I cannot stand either the taste or sight of sardines or anchovies--period.  But I will fully join you on the bandwagon of olives and mushrooms on pizza--or just about anything else.  I am really not as fish person at all--will eat pacific cod, talipia and the like--fish & chips are good--if the chips are more than the fish.

Listen. All you need for your pizza is a guy that knows what he's doing. I've seen too many people screw up what could be a quality regular cheese pizza. And plain cheese pizza is good on it's own. If you need a topping, you get pepperoni. Don't get overly creative with your pizza or you ruin the beauty of simplicity that IS pizza. Pizza isn't just food. Pizza is life.

I used to order mushroom and sausage, because I enjoyed the simplicity and contrast of those ingredients.  But everyone else wanted the combo, so I gave up and started eating the "kitchen sink" pizzas. 

Pizza has been taken over by huge corporate conglomerates, and the small pizzerias run by folks who once lived in New York or New Jersey are kind of hard to find, but they do exist.  And I'm convinced that's where the really good pizzas come from.  Of course, just because it's not one of the corporate pizza franchises doesn't mean it's going to be a good pizza, but that's the group from where the great pizza comes from.  Corporate franchises never produce a great pizza.  They are edible, but never great.  Some of them are totally crap, too.   If you live near a good pizza joint, consider yourself lucky.

Pizza lends itself to new creations, and many are really bad ideas.  When you blindly go into a place that says "Pizza" on the front, you never know what you're going to get.

You are clearly demented, perhaps the pizza god has stolen your soul…you need help my friend, perhaps a nice chicken marsala..or a good beef stew, I make a fucking awesome beef stew.

There's a lot of things I used to like. Guns n Roses comes to mind. Use You Illusion is not as good as I remember.

I also used to like women, now they bug me.

I just realized. Brian37 is a genius. He has us conditioned to responding to posts about Abba like a bunch of Pavlovian dogs. You monster you! I reject your Abba!

[Mike Cl]

I used to love ABBA!  Now........I still love them!

But I do hate pineapple on pizza.  And dessert pizza, too.  Whoever thought pineapple and ham should go together???

Mormons. It was their mission in Hawaii that married Pineapple to pizza. This is true. They also invented fry sauce. The entirety of culinary achievements of Mormonism, in one phrase.

I did serve part of my military duty in Hawaii.  I did enjoy the Polynesian Cultural Center. It was surprising how much influence they have in that state.  But ham/pineapple is simply over the top.  Just another reason to dislike them.

Creed.

I actually went to one of their concerts.  Scott Stapp grabbed an acoustic guitar and I was thrilled that he was going to play it.  Nope.  It stayed slung on his back the rest of the concert.  Very disappointing.  Now, I can't help but think the guy is a massive tool.

That would be because he IS a massive tool.
