Get the WAQ mug.
A Peruvian Tribal Mask.
Waq'ollos are from Quechua, a local Peruvian dialect. Primarily worn and seen during the Peruvian Festival of Qoyllur Riti, Lord of the Snow Star ceremonies, you can wear yours on the slopes or to in the snow. 13 inches long by 9.5 inches wide when measured flat. Accent colors may vary. One size fits most. Made in Peru.
Qoyllur Rit’i, the annual sacred festival held in the high Andes Mountains of Peru at the foot of Mt. Ausangate, in the Valley of Sinakara, is probably the most important festival of the year. It combines a dangerous moonlit trek to what remains of a melting glacier in an ancient Andean ritual of renewal by sacred Apu waters with the Roman Catholic ritual of the Mass, celebrating the Lord of the Snow Star. The fiesta runs three days and nights without pause. It is an exhausting cacophony of noise, a riot of costume, and a spectacle of movement. Part of the festivities include dancing and dressing up as various mythological or historical figures each wearing their uniquely identified costumes. One of these groups, the Qollas, dress in this mask with a hat, a woven sling, and llama skin and represent the Aymara residents of the Altiplano region of the Andes mountains. Another group, called the Ukukus, or bears, also wear this type of mask.

Get the waq.cgd mug.First name of the express pace fast bowler from Pakistan, Waqar Younis.
He is acknowledged as one of the greatest bowlers in the history of the game, he became well known for a slick long run up, whippy sling type action, extreme pace and lethal swing. From the early 1990's he caused mayhem with high speed pace bowling, the use of reverse swing, ability to take wickets and his impressive strike rates. He also bowled in tandem with another fast bowler Wasim Akram and they remain the most successful bowling combination in the history of the game. Together they also changed the focus of fast bowling to concentrate bowling a full length wicket to wicket at the stumps or attacking the batsman rather than the traditional use of short of a length bowling outside the line of off stump.
He was a natural strong athlete who was spotted and groomed by the great Imran Khan. His stock trade mark delivery was the Waqar Younis inswinging yorker, it became one of best sights to view in all its glory on a cricket pitch. A charismatic individual who played the game competitively, keenly and professionally Waqar Younis also gained many fans and admirers, including Usain Bolt (the Jamaican sprinter) who regarded Waqar Younis as a hero and enjoyed watching him bowl.

“Bowled him, yorked, Waqar again.”
It was swift and it was swinging in right onto his toe. He’s been Waqared.
“Waqar could even destroy the English batting line-up if he bowls with an orange” quoted legend Geoff Boycott.

Get the Waqar mug.It is referred to as an expression or delivery in cricket which was perfected by the king of swing and formidable express fast bowler Waqar Younis from Pakistan. The term is used when you get a lethal delivery that is a inswinging yorker at high pace usually aimed at leg stump, result of which is a dismissal of bowled or leg before or sometimes if you were really unlucky a toe crusher. This could be done at will and frequency hence the generic term “getting Waqared” spread and became infamous through the county and International circuit. He was also one of the pioneers and probably the best exponent of reverse swing.
