"That chest was as tight as some of the pinches Bilbo Baggins had found himself in. Maybe not as tight as the time Smaug nearly roasted him, but definitely much tighter than when he was locked in the Elf-King's palace for weeks, doomed to roam the halls invisible while his friends rotted in the dungeons."
OOO...nice one...but it needs to be non-hobbit related. just something you'd hear a Texan say.
