As you can guess that with my name I can probably tell you some funny stories that had happened to me over the years. But the first time I ever heared about Frank Zappa I was just starting a new job as a beauty and barber supply salesman. I had cards made out of course with my name on it and went to the customer list of the previous salesman that I was replacing. I went to a barber shop called the Pavone Brothers,introduced myself and gave him my card. The barber looked at the card for a minute and told me to wait. He went in the back, came out and gave me a rolled up poster. I unrolled it and as you can guess it was of Frank sitting on a toilet naked. But this one was a little different than what I've been searching for lately. He was sitting there naked smoking a joint or thats what it looked like. Also, on the inscription was "PHI KRAPPA ZAPPA" exactly like that. That barber gave it to me but over the many foggy days and years it was stolen. I'd like to find one like but no luck. Anyone, Help?

It is not clear what you are doing.

Try making a new page within double square brackets  <nowiki>[[Some New Page]]</nowiki>from an existing page.  Hit the Show Preview button and click the red Some New Page (or whatever you called your page) link which should take you to the edit box for the new page.

Hi Complaining about Google When creating a new page Google automatically hijacks my search instead of letting the Zappa Wiki create a new page! Workaround? Greetings!


Hi Propellerkuh,

It is not clear what you are doing.

Try making a new page within double square brackets [[Some New Page]]from an existing page. Hit the Show Preview button and click the red Some New Page (or whatever you called your page) link which should take you to the edit box for the new page.

My "search" always leads to Google showing me its precious finds in the usual Google Found List, doesnt create a new page. But I work around it by editing a list of articles, then the new link is red, and when clicking that, it creates a new page :-)

I think I did exactly what you suggest, but Safari and Firefox got a new behavior since last time I added new pages. so wtf

Got it, facepalm, sorry

upload PDF?

Could we, at least temporarily, add PDF to the file types we may upload? I describe a file at Talk:Pop Chronicles interview that we should have here. PopFanDoug (talk) 12:52, 20 June 2019 (PDT)


I think you will need Barry to set that up for you. If he does not respond here try...

killuglyradio {at} gmail {dot} com

I can host them temporarily and you can link to them from here if that helps.
