So what's wrong with being a tubby fat arss? Fat people are harder to kidnap!<P>I'm cool with pudgy Sam. It's just another thing to represent the duality of the situation they're all in - Good versus evil, elves vs. orc, Ents vs. Trolls, etc. To balance out lil Frodo (who is supposed to be kinda gentlemanly and 'educated'), the perfect compliment would be a round Sam (who is 'simple' and oftentimes fat people are labeled as dumb).<P>I LOVE how Sean Astin played him, and I did envision Sam as being chunky.
