this reminds me of a topic I've been meaning to start: Who has examples of hero descriptions found in unlikely places in the mundane world?

The first one I found came with a bottle (on the outside!) of Smoking Loon red wine. The advertising blurb on the side describes the character of the Smoking Loon, and reads exactly like a rather colorful and poetic hero description. From the bottle:

"Besides his bein' kinda crazy, they called him the Smoking Loon 'cause he was so dam' efficient," Jake began, stubbing out his cigar. "He'd take care of business an' get in an' out before anybody's see him comin'...leavin no trace 'cept the lingering sound of his eerie, loon-like cackle. No one was really sure who he was or who he worked for, but when word got out someone needed his services, the Smoking Loon just appeared on their doorstep, like outta thin air or somethin'".

Only 85 words, but I could play it. Besides, we need the extra 15 for keywords.

found anything similar?
