In all seriousness this is quite the list of accomplishments. 22 year long record is no joke.

Comment by Tim Spagnola on October 6, 2011 at 7:08pm: How dare Tino try to come around here with his accolades when Luke has accomplished so much more. Well done Luke- made my afternoon. ; )

Comment by Craig Watson on October 6, 2011 at 7:20pm: I think you and Valentino need a 'Face-Off'! Who is RBC's Greatest Athlete??

Comment by Valentino Martinez on October 6, 2011 at 10:32pm: @Bill - AKA "Le Mon Ade" - da man appreciates your acknowledgement of who da man is.

@Luke--appreciate the humor, particularly about your "mum's broken windows"...those never go over well when they belong to the nieghbors either. I would also be curious to know what sanctioning bodies would dare validate "championships & champions" for such events as running through a garden, egg balancing while trotting and window breakage.

@Tim--while I cannot pooh-pooh Luke's stellar accomplishments I can argue that they are in totally unrelated areas to my event/specialty and thus must be judged separately. I also think the value here is that RBC may need an area where members can share interesting facts about themselves beyond the workday world of recruitment. I think we're all pround of some side venture that may be worth sharing...humourous, bizarre, legal (please) or all the above included.

Your thoughts?

Comment by Tim Spagnola on October 6, 2011 at 10:35pm: Like the idea Tino - a new forum category perhaps called 'The Feats of Strength' in honor of the great Costanza celebration of Festivus?
