The Many Accomplishments of Mr. Chris Long
I want to catalog these achievements in this post because I like to be able to refer back to them. I'm sure they're all listed in other places, but I want them on my own site so I can easily find them.
As an aside, did you know Chris Long has his own Wikipedia page?
