If you want to roll, then check out this sphere. This is where the rolling happens and we're really ready to roll! We'll roll out the red carpet for you so you can get the ball rolling and roll around all you want. We roll with it, on it, off it, or away from it. We rock and we roll, so roll one and let's go. If you don't pay attention, we'll Rickroll you. Yeah, sure, a roll in the hay would be nice, but hey, not in public, heads will roll. But go ahead, roll up your sleeves and try rolling the dice. You might have to roll with the punches or let it roll off your back. What's that? ROTFL?

Gathered in geometric groups, glowing globes genuinely give off a graceful and ghostly glow that guides guests going by the glimmering gateway.

What are you looking at, ya pullet? Stop scratching and preening and stand up straight! There's a pecking order around the Coop and I WILL PECK YOU. No dust bathing in the corners, that's for the hens. If you're roaming, step aside for the roosters. AND NO DANCING, keep your wings up and refrain from circling. You better listen up or you'll be nuggets in no time!

Every contact leaves its trace, sometimes a memory, sometimes a physical impression. The sun is setting and your footprints have left silent Round witness of your passing. Where did you go? And what are those shoes?

Waiting in a long line at the pump? Stay calm. Stare at your gas tank lid. Think blue skies and cool breezes. You don't need to fill your gas tank up right now.

These suspiciously round corn batter hushpuppies are a favorite companion to seafood and, according to Southern lore, are a treat for our own favorite companions. Legend as it that soft-hearted cooks would take extra bits of batter and fry them for their barking puppies, effectively hushing them.

A creature has made a home in the yard, but who? There are several possibilities. Rabbit? At only a couple inches in diameter, it's too small to be a fluffle warren. Gopher? Mole? No, these guys are messy, with a dirt hill or mound outside the door. Squirrel? It looks pretty deep, and squirrels usually dig many shallow holes. So that leaves a chipmunk or a snake. Let's wait and watch. But I'm hoping for chipmunk.

"Not me," said the Terra Cotta Damsel. How about you, Half-naked Water Sprite? "No, I just got out of the Belgian Art Deco stained glass shower cabinet. I'm not properly dressed." "I can do it!" said the Carousel Horse, "But I have no opposable thumbs."

Design evolves from function to form on this push-button telephone, which replaced pulse dialing in the early 1960s. Audrey Hepburn would have looked a lot less glamorous in Charade (1963) jabbing buttons than she does sliding her finger along the rotation path of a rotary dial.
