In my time with a large bushy mustache I have discovered a number of things you can't have with one.

You can't have Corn on the Cob with a mustache like that.

You can't have Caramel Apples with a mustache like that.

You can't have a nice facial tan with a mustache like that.

and today I found out you cannot have certain kinds of alcohol with one.

Specifically some kinds of shooters.

Seeing as the WAMM picnic has been postponed, some friends and I went out and despite my attempts to stay with my single pint of Guinness they convinced me to have three shots with it.

The first two were ok, but a little messy resulting in some good natured laughter as I tried to sop them out of my 'stache with napkins.

The third one was one of those flaming ones where you blow out the fire JUST before you tilt it back.

I regret to say that my timing was somewhat off.

Good news is that other than my pride I was not hurt, I came through without any injuries.

Medium news is my handlebar mustache took the brunt of the fiery onslaught.

Bad news is it was singed bad enough to call it a write-off.

So, it's gone. A razor finished the job that the fire started.
