1. Lemon juice (Not only didn’t it work, it made his hair so dry, it stood out from his head like he was plugged directly into an electrical outlet. You could smell it from the audience, too.) 2. Mountain Dew (Hey, it’s the same color as lemon juice. Sort of. Mostly.) 3. Coffee (Brown and green make… green.) 4. Milk (Gotta make the coffee less bitter, I suppose.) 5. Tea (Might have worked better had they brewed it instead of rubbing wet tea bags on Mitchell’s head.) 6. Toothpaste (Mitchell smelled minty fresh!) 7. Beer (Made it shiny. Trevor said the shine made it look like pond scum. Mitchell promptly beat him almost senseless.) 8. Honey (Don’t call Mitchell honey. Ever.) 9. Mayonnaise (Didn’t do a thing for the color, but it gave his poor hair a good conditioning after all this stuff he’s used so far.) 10. Mustard (What’s one more condiment? And no, ketchup wasn’t next, for fear of going from green to pink.) 11. Orange juice (Mitchell’s always drinking it; maybe it’ll help if he wears it, too.) 12. Vodka (Screwdriver, anyone?) 13. Corned Beef (This was Trevor’s half-joking solution. At this point, Mitchell figured he had nothing to lose. Including, it turned out, the green.)

And… I didn’t even have a reason why… I “heard” that it did cool things to your hair… what it does is create a disgusting stinkly slime pile on your head that doesn’t go away… I have this thing about slime… I don’t want to touch it… I certainly don’t want it dripping down hair and dribbling on to my back. br /br /I’ve also done the beer on hair trick… I was surprisingly sober when I did it as well… I would never waste vodka on my hair *hiccup* there’s something better to use it for!

I hate to admit this but I have had a lot of those things on my head in my earlier days trying to either lighten it or straighten it

That’s part of the beauty of the list! (and the fact that most of these things are common in a backstage tour rider!)br /br /Did any of them take the green out of YOUR hair? *grin*

I tried the mayo in my hair as a teen. I worked pretty good as a conditioner. I also tried egg, vinegar and rain water. No corn beef in my hair though. 😛

Wow…I realize he was half-joking…but corned beef in hair. Yuck.br /br /I don’t think green hair would have been a problem after that. I believe the smell from the other 12 attempts to remove the green would prevent anyone from approaching close enough from noticing he had hair at all.br /br /Thanks for stopping by! Happy TT!

Hey, it was in their tour rider, easy to get their hands on… why NOT? br /br /I hope everyone’s had as good a time with this list as I did making it. The Tour Manager and I were howling as we thought all this up.

lol! what a funny list, and a funny story to go with it :)br /br /the solution is easy really, just douse his hair with paint thinner…just tell his buddies not to light up. hehe! or, like trevor said, just cut it off!

Paint thinner? Are you serious?

Wow, comments have gone insane around here …br /br /Hilarious list. I should have put the drink down before reading. *Wipes smudges off screen*br /br /If they need to make Mitchell cut his hair, have them put chewing gum in it. Hey, he’s had everything else … 😀
Susan Helene Gottfried
December 7, 2006 8:12 pm
Chewing gum???? How would THAT remove the green? (then again, how would corned beef, except desperation had set in)br /br /Resolution to this problem begins tomorrow. It’s not what you’re thinking…br /br /(and yeah, comments go nuts on Thursday Thirteen days. I’ll come out and be so bold as to say I wish it was like this every day, though!)

remember the movie “the boy with green hair’ – I’ve used lemon juice and the mayo before but not for green hair – lemon juice to lighten and mayo as a conditioner (gross – what was I thinking I don’t even like mayo).

December 8, 2006 4:54 am
It wouldn’t get the green out, but it’d sure make him cut his hair off. 😀
