A Timeline of Major Events in the History of the Blair Rupe

May 1-3, 1998         A group of hunters gather in the small town of Crossville, Tennessee to hunt
                            hogs.  There are mumblings of a mythical creature in the far reaches of the
                            country, near Washington D.C., called a "Rupe".  There is little concern,
                            however, as the land where this creature supposedly roams is over 550 miles
                            away.  Nonetheless, a hush would fall over the group if the name was even
                            mentioned.

April 30, 1999        Lured by the possibility of being the center of attention somewhere besides
                            his home territory, the "Rupe" made his way to Crossville, Tennessee.
                            Driven by his minion, SPIDERMAN, the "Rupe" arrived well rested and
                            refreshed in a mysteriously clean Dodge Ram.  To everyone's surprise,
                            their is no coffin filled with dirt from his homeland packed anywhere
                            in the truck.  It is learned later that SPIDERMAN would not allow any dirt
                            that close to his truck.
