Todays A Zappa A Day is a BIG UN! Defies belief, really.. Its like a aural cartoon bursting with definition and description! -- From wikipedia --- Greggery Peccary is a small peccary, and lives among the peccary population, which ranges from Texas to Paraguay and sometimes as far west as Catalina. Peccaries are notable for having a white collar pattern on their fur, but Greggary is part of a bold new breed of peccary that also has a wide tie below his collar, distinguishing it as a particularly exceptional swine. Greggery owns a red Volkswagen and works in the part of the town where the government buildings are kept at a corporation known as Big Swifty and Associates, Trend-mongers. As the name suggests, their line of work involves conceiving and promoting the many trends and fads within the world using whatever means science has to offer. Greggery is popular among the air-headed lady stenographers at his company, who are impressed by Greggery and taken by his suave and particular cunning as an employer. Together they sing a song advertising the companys many time-wasting products, thus inspiring Greggery to return to his ultra-avant, laminated, simulated, replica-mahogany desk so that he may conceive a new trend, some THING to identify with. Guided by heavenly voices, he invents the calendar, a play on the Gregorian calendar introduced by Pope Gregory XIII. The calendar, upon release, immediately causes chaos, as people suddenly can keep track of time and plan ahead, thus making life aggravatingly mechanical, and also allowing people to discover how old they were. A group of hunchmen, just a few of the very hip young people of the world, attack Greggery on the way home from his office one night, enraged at the prospect of birthdays and being aware of their own aging. Greggery is chased by them in his car, and narrowly escapes into a cave in a conveniently placed and nearby mountain. The hunchmen (and hunchwomen) decide to abandon the chase in favour of a love-in and a party ensues among them. Greggery is safe from them, but suddenly discovers that he has parked within no ordinary cave, but the mouth of Billy the Mountain. Billy hacks up boulders and creates new brown clouds as he laughs, suddenly procuring Greggerys interest. Greggery, unaware that he was parked within Billy the Mountain or that Billy had coughed up the clouds, ponders who is making those new brown clouds, and makes a phone call to find a philostopher for an explanation of the presence of the brown clouds. He is sent to a man named Quentin Robert DeNameland, supposedly the greatest living philostopher known to mankind, who hosts a group assembly. DeNamelands authenticity as a philostopher is questionable, as he merely proclaims that time is of affliction – more specifically, the eons are closing – before soliciting for payment for attendance to his assembly. The adventure closes with Greggery still pondering the presence of the brown clouds, given DeNamelands lack of answers. Cynically he concludes: If you ask a philostopher hell see that you pays!
