Day 38 - Hex, Lies and Autoclave Tape

Well, having had the weekend to recover from the body blow which left them (and the rest of us) reeling on Friday lab 301 were back on judging duty today. Luckily for them the line up today was a little more easy on the senses and the stomach. Brian had a green number with several different coloured wee stick men flying across it, Pete had an unusual (apart from the fact that we have seen it in competition before) black offering with additional fabric bits on it with the letters D & C for Duck and Cover, I had a pretty old Pixies T-shirt from their Planet of Sound days with a bold (but cracked) ‘P’ printed on the front.

And so the 301 judges lined up as usual to give us the once over. Our synchronised spin (to show any back-prints) was particularly slick today. While the judges seemed disapproving of Pete wearing another brand name T-shirt it was pointed out that Brain was also wearing a brand name - twolegs. In addition there was some shocking ignorance displayed regarding one of the most influential bands of our time.

And so the results were delivered in their usual timely fashion. Initially it seemed good for Brain in first place with me in second and Pete last. However I had played a Hex, hoping to hold onto my lead. And hold on I did with Brain scoring 0, me 2 and Pete ½.

So the bitter battle for first continues with Brian a joker still to play and both of us with a Hex in hand - could this result in a Hexican stand-off?

Oh yeah, here’s a clue if you haven’t worked out the title
