@gourmetgal and splitpea: I have the same thing, it was driving me nuts. So I went and got an allergy test, and it turns out I developed a gastrointestinal sensitivity to crustaceans. Something similar might be happening to you. The doc told me that it's definitely not an allergy, so I could try small amounts of all sorts of fishes and shellfishes to see what I could tolerate. Now, when I taste shrimp, I don't even like it, because it reminds me of crippling stomach cramps. Bleh.

Ugh, I thought of another one, Drambuie. I have to stop thinking about it now. Now! Oh, god.

Yogurt. Used to love it, not much of a milk drinker so when pregnant with my first child thought I would stock up to get my calcium. Turns out pudding-consistency foods are not good for morning sickness gag reflexes. Now (almost 12 years later) it doesn't make me sick anymore, but I'm still afraid it will.

Cilantro tastes like Ivory soap smells to me.

i can't stand the smell of liverwurst. or pickled herring.

Okay I LOVE raw sushi, and used to be able to eat it -- no problem. About a year ago I started getting violently ill about an hour after I ate it. Same place, so I don't think it's food poisoning and no one else seems to get sick. I guess my system just changed or something. Anyway, I still get craving for it and have go there to eat even though I KNOW I will get really sick. Then after my sushi-fest, when I am sick, I curse myself and tell myself I will never eat raw sushi again. But then, there I go. I hope I am not doing irreparable damage to my intestines! Does anyone else get sick after sushi?

Many years ago when they opened the first Chipotle in the area they were doing test runs and you could go in and get a free burrito. Well I just finished with a workout and went in and consumed the whole thing. The next day I felt like death was standing over me with a sickle over my head.
I swore off Chipotle for years before I tried it again and everything was fine. I probably just came down with the flu around the same time but to this day I am always afraid of getting sick after eating there...probably explains why I haven't eaten there in a long time.

@mongoose: Word. And leave the sock drawer alone. Strike the underwear drawer.

In real life I'm a total potty-mouth. In fact, my general lent thing is to not curse and if I do I put a dollar in the kitty, which goes to a soup kitchen near me come the day after Easter. Even with the fines and trying to be good, they get a couple hundred bucks.

That said, I definitely censor myself when I write. I think that may be partly because there's not quite the same satisfaction typing F&^%! as there is shouting it, you know?

@hobomike, Asshat is relatively new. Asshat = Head Up Your Ass. I do love that. And douche (not douchebag is a personal favorite).
