I did that on purpose.  Bologna (not balogna) is the sausage, which my
original posting referred to; "baloney" is the usual spelling in the
sense "nonsense".  Both are of course pronounced [b@"louni] or variants
thereof in this country.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
