I can't tell whether you're just being tongue-in-cheek, or perfectly serious. I hope the former.

  Little of both, really. I actually think Lisp is beautiful, although it can be difficult to read. As for Perl... http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol3_2/tpj0302-0012.html http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol3_2/tpj0302-0012.html No excuse.

    I don't think you're supposed to be able to get used to obfuscated anything. By that metric, C is equally unreadable: http://ioccc.org/ http://ioccc.org/ I've seen very readable perl code, although I won't use that to make sweeping generalizations about the entire language.

      To be fair, I never said C was pretty. I have no real problem with Perl aside from its overabundance of punctuation.
