Cracked

Back in October at the Steel City Beard and Mustache Club competition, I purchased a mustache mug from One Eyed Cat and it quickly became my favorite mug. And, yes, it's because it's essentially an adult sippy-cup, specifically designed to keep my beverage out of my mustache.

Well, at one point some months back, I was pouring hot water into the mug (because that is what ceramic mugs are for) and it made a distinct popping sound. I checked and could see that it was indeed cracked but as it was not then leaking fluid I continued to use it. Today, however, the recurring popping sound was accompanied with a flow of liquid out of the side of the mug.

I should very much like to have a replacement as, I have said, it was my favorite, however I cannot in good conscience do so without some sort of assurance that the replacement will be more thermally sound.

I shall have to return to conventional mugs that lack the facial hair protective guard.
