Let me start by saying that I had no idea that this post would receive this kind of attention. After reading some of the replies (a haven’t had time to make it past the first 100 yet) I’m glad to see that you guys find this just as funny and bizarre as we do. I think that you’ll find the end result to be worth your wait.

As of my last reply, my brothr-in-law was letting lemon juice soak into his hair. He agreed to tell the full story if my final suggestion worked. I revealed the ultimate cure (liquid soap – dawn) to him. He was nervous that we might not have enough soap so he asked if there was anything else. He looked over the coffee table full of possible cures and grabbed some hydrogen peroxide.

After soaking himself in hydrogen peroxide he grabbed the dawn and went to the bathroom. We continued with our card game and left it at that. Later, we heard him scurry off to his room so we yelled for him to come show us if it worked. He wouldn’t come out so one of the guys went in to retrieve him. All of the sudden we hear him start giggling and he yelled, “His damned hair is orange!” We haven’t figured out whether it was the lemon juice or the hydrogen peroxide, but his dark brown hair was now a weird pumpkin color. His hair was also amazingly frizzy. I assume that the frizzy effect was from all of the chemicals, I'm not sure, but it looked like orange cotton candy.

The good thing was that the peanut butter was gone. I demanded that he come out and spill his guts about what started this whole thing. He says that the truth about why he put peanut butter in his hair had nothing to do with trying to remove anything. He said that he had run out of ‘goop’ and figured that he could substitute the peanut butter. He planned to put in the peanut butter, wash away the smell and most of the excess, and still have enough ‘stickiness’ left to effectively hold his comb over in place.

As one of my buddies quickly pointed out, what’s the point? First, we’re all men here. Second, his usual comb over wasn’t fooling anybody anyway. To steal a line from Dennis Miller, he wore sideburns that I haven’t seen since TBS ran Play Misty For Me, topped with a comb over that looked like it had been done by a spider on Xanax. Nevertheless, he used peanut butter to facilitate his comb over, and he was too embarrassed to tell us about it when it didn’t work out. Basically, he went metro-sexual on us and it bit him in the ass.

Here comes the best part. We finally ridiculed his orange hair and fed him beer to the point that he agreed to simply shave it off. After all of this work, we shaved it off. He’s now laying in bed and refuses to speak to any of us. He’s furious. Not because his hair turned orange. Not because we talked him into shaving his head. Not because we dumped Brute 33 on his bleeding scalp after we were done. Not because his head is a hideous lumpy white spectacle. No, he’s mad because of an innocent suggestion that one of the guys made. My thoughtful friend suggested that he simply dye it dark again with one of those women’s hair coloring kits. Of course, that suggestion wasn't made until we’d already knocked off all of my brother-in-law's hair.

Thanks for riding this out us. Let me know if you'd like to get on a one time ping list for the pictures. I’m going back to my poker game.

Moral of the story: just say "no" to metrosexual combovers. It just isn't worth it.

[OwenKellogg]

Is your brother-in-law named Skippy?

Let him know his hair will grow back in a jif.

[visualops]

Put me on the ping list.

Vanity, thy name is ... well, I guess in this case, "Guy."

[RobFromGa]

great thread, ping me to the pictures!

"Because he's worth it...."

Congratulations on getting rid of the combover. They really do not look attractive at all.

Thanks for riding this out us. Let me know if you'd like to get on a one time ping list for the pictures.

Are you kidding? This was the first thing that entered my mind this morning when the alarm went off. Sign me up!

[Nita Nupress]

Update ping!

[netmilsmom]

I didn't get back to this until morning. I just spit coffee on my keyboard!

Thanks for the update! And give him a big hug from me. I've had some bad hair days myself (well not that bad)

[netmilsmom]

And please include me on the ping list!

UGH. Men! Reminds me of my boyfriend who started balding not long after we dated. I didn't mind in the least bit, except that he had a little ponytail, and he quickly started looking awful with a combination of long hair with a bald spot on top. I dropped hints, but for 2 years he didn't catch on. But, what could I do? It was his hair, I didn't want to be a nag.

His baldness progressed fast, and finally his hairstyle got so ridiculous looking that I had to flex my Girlfriend Muscle and made him get a haircut 1 hour he was supposed to meet up with my family again for Christmas! At the stylist's he looked like he was almost in tears, but afterwards... no long hair, not even a combover, and the difference was astounding, he now looks like the lovely professional young man that he is. Men are just so silly about their bald spots sometimes! Nobody is fooled, ever!

[Quix]

OF COURSE PICS!!!

Am very RELIEVED it was more humorous than . . . uhhhh embarrassingly worse. It was beginning to sound a little kinky at some points.

[hellinahandcart]

You should probably be putting cortisone cream on his head today. His scalp is probably irritated beyond belief.

Don't let him get sunburned now on top of that.

I think your sister will thank you for killing the combover. :D

[prairiebreeze]

ping me to the pictures please

[4mycountry]

I want on that ping list!! :)

BOTH the lemon juice and the hydrogen peroxide turned his hair orange. Lemon juice will bleach hair yellow, and h-p will turn it red. Red + yellow = ORANGE!

[abner]

I must be pinged to the photos. Thanks.

[Auntbee]

I have to see those pictures,too.

This is the funniest thread I have ever read on FR!!! This is right up there with "What Kind of Snake Is This??" and the stick drawings of the boxing match.
