If, by “normal”, you’re referring to yourself, you have to take into account that you have (publically, on this board) claimed that you have no sexual urges or instinct, and that you find the expression of same offensive to the point of physical revulsion: this would make you quite probably less able to spot sexual symbolism when it’s overt, or either conciously or unconciously refuse to acknowledge the presence of such symbolism when possible.
There you go again, trying to chip away at my credibility by saying I’m somehow not normal (by the way, I got an e-mail message from Mandara K. a few days ago. It seems you were able to manipulate her into believing I’m paranoid). I am perfectly ordinary. I have normal thoughts, normal beliefs, normal attitudes, come from a normal family, and have had a normal life. All in all I am 98% typical in mentality. Just your average guy. Now cut it out.

People around the office here, who aren’t fans of LEXX, aren’t clued in to the wide array of sexual symbolism used on the show, and aren’t familiar with the sexual humor inherent in the show, when seeing the watering cans and labial designs of the flowers, were pretty quick to realize what they were intended to represent.
Like I said, it’s possible the imagery in [i]Garden[/i] is as you say, but I find it unlikely. I am generally quite good at spotting the subtleties of [i]Lexx[/i] (or any of the other shows I watch diligently), and I didn’t notice anything like that in [i]Garden[/i] until a female board member posted that there were “pallic and labial symbols” in the episode. Plus, after I read such allegations I showed the still that’s on Sad’s review to my roommate to see what he thought, and he didn’t see anything suggestive in it. I suspect your presenting of the image to others was set up by you (consciously or subconsciously) in a manner that would maximize the subject’s potential to agree with your view. No more needs to be said on this.
