The ideology of "greatness"--an ideology that claims, precisely, to transcend ideological concerns and to locate the timeless and enduring, the fit candidates, though few, for a Hall of Fame, whether in sports or in arts and letters--is, in fact, frequently secured with reference to a philology of origins.

 Stephen Malkmus: Face the Truth - PopMatters Music Review
Stephen Malkmus's second post-Pavement venture, 2003's Pig Lib was a bit of a snoozer, to be kind.
The cold, distant sound of Pig Lib is replaced with a much more appealing playfulness and almost neurotic attention to detail.
And the minute long guitar jam at the song's end brings Pig Lib to mind, but it fits perfectly within the song's structure, serving as a fitting conclusion to the song.

 Dialogue With a Homosexual
Jesus himself ended up taking the pig law of the books when he said that nothing going into a man can defile him, just the things that come from a man. So you see, once society progressed, they realized that this doctrine was no longer in the now, so they updated it.
If we recognize that a right is a transcendent ought, and believe it would be morally wrong for anyone to deny us those rights, then we must conclude that rights originate from a source transcendent to man (to which man is subject), not human law.
If there is no transcendent moral law given by a transcendent moral law-giver the government can issue or revoke privileges at will, and there is nothing immoral about any decision they make, and no basis upon which to argue that they ought to do, or ought to have done otherwise.

 Shambhala - A Guide to The Words of My Perfect Teacher
If we divide the Dharma into vehicles, there are what we call the worldly vehicle, or vehicle of gods and humans, and the transcendent vehicle, or vehicle of complete liberation.
The worldly vehicle takes one from existence in the three lower realms to the level of gods and humans in the higher realms, and this is why it is called the worldly vehicle.
The transcendent vehicle comprises two vehicles: the Basic Vehicle, known as the Vehicle of Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas, so called because it takes one to nirvana, the state of the Shravakas and Pratyekabuddhas; and the Great Vehicle, so called because it takes one to perfect buddhahood beyond the two extremes.

Last time out, he was accompanied by a pair of conspirators, the trio decked in jeans, hooded sweatshirts, and pig masks, who tag-teamed with Snaith on drums, guitar, bells, samplers, and keyboards.
Presumably, it was the same conspirators (unnamed on his website) who joined Snaith at the Bowery Ballroom on May 4th, filling out the pure sunshine fix of his recently released The Milk of Human Kindness with double drummer thunder and all manners of tripped-out video projections.

We meant it to cover a broad range of things, so it runs the gamut from general overviews of the mythology to studies of individual stories to highly specific analyses of Tolkien's prosody, and the construction and components of his Elven languages.
Your novel, Pig Tale, has an almost friendly-looking cover for the young girl's harrowing story found inside.

He proceeded to gently strum the instrument, producing a simple, hopeful rhythm that soon became recognizable as the Roger Waters-penned "Pigs on the Wing." Claypool soon returned wearing a grotesque pig mask, offering up the mournful lyrics in a voice that was surprisingly true to Waters' original recording.
Claypool nailed the high-end bass line that introduces "Pigs (Three Different Ones)," as the guitarists joined forces, perfectly capturing David Gilmour's dirty chords and transcendent lead work.
The entire band was in a state of euphoria-in the midst of a fully-realized teenage dream-wailing the opening lyrics, "big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are," in unison.

He's Chinese—or at least the Chinese think he is. Only one other writer that I know of mentions him, and only in passing—Barry Hughart, in Bridge of Birds—but that's to be expected, as Hughart is most expert in Chinese mythology.
The next time I met the pig, I was up Mount Rigi, in Switzerland, but that's another story.
Well, he is, but his comment would probably be: "Just because you're omnipresent doesn't mean you have to be everywhere at once." He does not appear in A Wizard Alone—at least as far as I know, at least not in any shape which I recognize at the moment.
