CCAr... for real?

So, just out of curiosity and because it never hurts to dream (aka I'm going to be an MCM someday, I'll rule the interwebs! 
)...
What in the world would it take to earn a CCAr? What in the world do they do at work?
I mean the CCIE is already pie in the sky for most of us just getting started in the industry and my personal goals are not oriented to Network certs as it is (Systems guy myself)... But wow, the CCAr seems ridiculous. Is this one of those certs that only folks who work for Cisco and need to validate experience for large promotion might get?
Just curious as I said, I would be fascinated to hear if anyone even knows what these guys do on a daily basis.
Cheers!

Our primary network architect is a triple IE, he's taking is CCDE in the next few months and the CCAr is in his sights. Once you get to a certain level it's harder to differentiate yourself from your peers to anyone who does not have direct knowledge of your work. I think in this case it's as much to justify a (well deserved) promotion he is getting anyway, it makes it easier for the higher ups to understand his level vs. the rest of us.We responded to the Year 2000 issue with "Y2K" solutions...isn't this the kind of thinking that got us into trouble in the first place? -

so CCAr = CCBA (Cisco Certified Bad A$s)?
Thanks for the youtube links, very interesting to hear experts opine about the importance of customer service... you can't get a cert for that. Also interesting to hear that the most important aspect of their preparation was consistent and relevant work experience.
