[Ads-l] put a green mask on

[Andy Bach]

There's Jim Carrey's "The Mask"
 Unable to enter the Coco Bongo to watch Tina perform, Stanley finds a
wooden mask near the city's harbor. Placing it on his face transforms him
into a bizarre, wisecracking green-faced zoot-suited
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_suit> trickster known as "The Mask",
who is able to cartoonishly alter himself and his surroundings at will.

but, despite being a green mask (possibly Loki's), that doesn't seem to ...
er, fit.
