Get the quasarmug. A quasar (more recently known as a QSO, Quasi-Stellar Object) is a distant star-sized energy source in space that gives off lots of ultraviolet. They are compact and very far away, but they are also very bright.Some of these QSO's gives off large amounts of radiation, including radio waves and X-rays. The word quasar is short for quasi-stellar radio objects. Quasars were first detected by Maartin Schmidt and Allan R. Sandage in 1963 -1964.
"We believe that galaxies and quasars are very intimately connected, that in fact quasars are a phase of galaxy evolution. In our current picture, as every galaxy forms and collapses, it has a brief quasar phase."

Get the quasarmug. Outphase's Trance song from beatmania IIDX 9th Style. Used as the One More Extra Stage from that game, therefore requiring a lot of skill to merely play. The Another14 notechart is considered impossible to pass.

Get the Johnny Quasarmug. The king of the fat kids. Bigger than a planet, so he lives in space. Often will eat planets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. His special power is saying “bro” so loud, that it rips through the fabric of space time. He is a terrifying individual, who has struck fear into our galaxy. Rumor has it that an entire civilization that has developed on his stomach. He has 8 moons that orbit him.
“Marvelous! Look! It’s Captain Quasar!” A horrified alien yelled as Captain Quasar devoured his planet for a daily afternoon snack.
