The Origin Series

The Origin Series is a series of articles written by author Rip Blastrock (aka Jon Cumberland, aka Wayne Eisel, aka Johnny Castle) on the blog F U Schaumburg . The series originated in July 2007 with the article The Origin of Donald Sutherland's Charm. More recent articles include The Origin of the Ultimate Punch and The Origin of Rhodesia. The Origin Series is well know for its cliffhanger endings that challenge the reader to search for the truth themselves.

Many say it is structured off the ESPN article Chasing the Demon Sphere .

Rip Blastrock once ingested 10,000 scorpions while on a mission trip in Zaire, and survived. On this day, Blastrock made the decision to destroy all animalia of the subclass arachnida. His process for doing this is curious to say the least. Blastrock insists on burning off each of the 8 legs, and then holding the torso of the now-immobile octopod above his head. At this point, he cackles loudly for his peragraine falcon, 'Mahes' (named for the Ancient Egyptian God of Massacre), who returns to earth from the clouds at over 150 mph and obliterates the near-lifeless, legless, octopod in his torsioned, blade-like, talons.

Since witnessing this experience, the native tribespeople of Zaire have worshiped Blastrock under the moniker "The Rusted Giver of Death". The meaning of the tribespeople's use of the curious adjective 'rusted' has been debated since it's inception; However it seems to simply derive from the coffee-stained clothing Blastrock was wearing that day in Zaire.

The Origin Series has gained a cult-like following like that of the movie Wayne's World 2.
