Oh, so THAT's what happened to Elvis! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] . Though personally I think he'd end up more like Tim Benzedrine than Tom Bombadil, if you know what I mean...

As for Legolas, this is definitely one of those "ultimately, who cares" issues, but in "The Hobbit" isn't Thranduil described as the "golden-haired King of the Elves". I realize that "The Hobbit" isn't strictly canon, but that's one of those details which would seem kind of pointless for Bilbo to change - it's not like it makes the story any more dramatic or anything, the way "Attercop!" does.
