Number 52, Become a more frightening monster than the one they think you are.

Extra Credit: Write an essay, poem, recipe, film, or performance piece on this question: if a culture's monsters reflect its greatest fears, what does it say about uber-American culture that its monsters are for the most part shape-shifters and mutants?

So... here goes. I've deliberately not included any numbers because it should never turn out the same way twice. I did take pictures, but the camera cord's missing. They'll be on here eventually.

Edit: Yup, picture finally up!

Ingredients:
Frozen Strawberries
Natch Peanut Butter
Lime juice (Fresh squeezed)
Paprika
Chocolate Syrup
Sesame Seeds
Soymilk
Flaxseed Oil
Ground Flax
Raisins

Assembly:
Nuke the strawberries for about a minute, until they're partially thawed. Arrange these in a circle around a plate. These will represent the normalcy of North American culture.
Mix together some of the peanut butter, lime juice, chocolate syrup, flaxseed oil, and paprika. Mine was a playdough-ish consistancy. Form that into whatever shape your mutant will have and throw it in the middle of the plate, being stared at by North American culture.
Mix together soymilk, more peanut butter, more lime juice (this may make your soymilk curdle. I contemplated not adding it but I realized that mutants had to drink sour milk sometimes), ground flax, and sesame seeds. Mine was pretty liquidy but solider than soymilk... maybe maple syrup consistancy? Then pour the 'slime' all over the mutant. This will be everything the mutant stands for, and that the culture can't deal with.
Some of the slime may get on the strawberries. These strawberries should be wiped off, lest they become mutants themselves. The slime will have forever changed the strawberry, but it's important that the strawberry LOOK the same as the other strawberries.
Finish off your mutant by adding raisin features- eyes, ears, claws, etc.
I wrote "FEAR" on the outside of the plate in slime, then dipped each strawberry in the mutant before eating it. Mmm... infiltration of fringe culture...
