[[Crooked Mick]] is a larger-than-life character from [[
Crooked Mick, like his American [[Wild West]] counterparts, is a giant of a man and skilled in many trades. Hard-working, hard-playing, [[Made of Iron]] and with [[Big Eater|an appetite to match his size]], Crooked Mick is regarded as the quintessential bushman. Nothing was beyond his capabilities; he could lift huge weights, shear massive amounts of sheep in no time flat, cook pies so light that a gust of wind would carry them, kick crocodiles to the moon, move mountains, and generally do anything that everyone else could do, but 100 times better than anyone else could do.
Line 8:
Unlike many of the Wild West legends he resembled, Crooked Mick was said to have died, but again the stories vary. A fairly common story has the teller describe how they heard several others give their explanations for Crooked Mick's death (like a duststorm causing him to throttle himself with his own giant beard), only to then hear the real truth -- like how Crooked Mick became [[The Man in the Moon]] when he built his own pogo stick and bounced all the way from earth to the moon.

* [[Memetic Badass]]: He's a [[Tall Tale]] protagonist, this is to be expected.
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]
* [[Shrouded in Myth]]: There exist many conflicting versions of why Crooked Mick was "crooked", or how he died.
