I will begin as the greatest of hockey bloggers likes to begin..."This is Rob Schremp."
Like Belgium, he exists. And also like Belgium, he seems to be talked about most when people are debating whether he is worthy of being talked about. It's all very meta.
So perhaps the best way to introduce this whole topic (to the six or seven people who are likely to actually read it, and the one or two are are likely still reading it, is to do a line by line Schremp/Belgium comparison, and see who comes out on top.
(Sorry for the formatting, I don't use Blogger a lot and have real work to do)

sweet jebus you made it happen. Truly a beautiful thing...don't forget Belgium's famous beer traditions as well, unfiltered for added enjoyment...much like Schremp's unfiltered interviews...
ReplyDeleteI demand an invitation to this blog.
ReplyDeleteDestined to become a legend.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty, but I'm seeing dots. Is anyone else seeing dots?
ReplyDeleteI thought the dots were chocolate, but after licking my screen for a while, I decided that they were more dust-tasting...
ReplyDeleteWhere's the Waloons and what would they taste like/
ReplyDeleteI think there should be a Homburg hat like the one Chance the gardner wore as he wandered through the streets of Washington. This also serves as a reminder of what might happen to Robbie when the Edmonton suits cast him out.
ReplyDeleteHehe. I woulda thought Schremp kicked butt on Belgium in YouTube hits, though.
ReplyDeleteAdd another one:
ReplyDeleteBelgium: has great beer
Schremp: used to have a beer gut (08-09)
And waffles. Shremp likes waffles.
ReplyDeleteTo quote Popeye Doyle from the Mad version of the French Connection:
ReplyDelete"Why don't you go back to Flemland where you came from?"
I would presupose that the details of Schremp's life are quite inconsequential.
ReplyDeleteHe is a relentless self appreciating megalomaniac from Bruge with low grade narcolepsy in the defensive zone and a penchant for buggering the dog.
George B: That's crazy. If he were all those things he'd be an NHL owner.
ReplyDeleteOr Bud Selig.
Boots (or, in the original Walloon, Booutz) would seem to be living proof of your thesis LT although his romantic liasons now likely involve some named Bubba rather than Spot.
ReplyDeleteWhat now that Schremp's been waived?
ReplyDeleteI think it's ideal that Rob Schremp was picked up by the Islanders. I'm fairly indifferent to the Islanders.
ReplyDeleteBeing as I'm an Oilers fan, I believe we need a new divisive prospect, I nominate Omark.
Omark is definitely the next Hockey Jesus.
