Like the Hobbits, the Bones are a peculiar-looking, diminutive race. They are pure cartoon - cute and pantsless, with four fingers on each hand and smooth, rounded, sexless bodies.

...hair, and Michael Phelps looked merely human. Before long, though, the U.S. was sitting in its customary place atop the medal standings, with golds in everything from double trap shooting to road cycling to gymnastics; the swim team alone took 28 medals. While flip turns and double Arabians are cute in a quadrennial sort of way, they do not display the full range of what Americans consider athleticism, nor do they make easy metaphors for national character.
