Hmm, hoo now.
The bouncing would be a good comparison, but Tolkien described him as being somwhat thick bodied.
I'm, unfortunately, skinny as a beanpole.

What I wouldn't give to be able to gain a few pounds and weigh in at 135.
(Though Tolkien's descrip makes me think Ol' Tom weighed just a tad more than that, and was much heavier with the footfall than I. I think the words were, "great stumping like a cow going to water" or some such. I'm sometimes told I walk too quietly.)
Sure, it may be worth the usage. ;-)

Physicality isn't as important as personality!
Lots of the "elves" here don't physically resemble elves... and none of the "hobbits" or "dwarves" are actually three feet tall, after all! ;)
