Riddles: What Am I?

 I travel around the world, yet I remain in the corner. What am I?

 

 

I can sizzle like bacon, I am made with an egg.

I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg.

I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole.

I can be long like a flagpole, yet still fit in a hole. What am I?

 

 

I drink and I drink and I drink, more than my share until I'm packed.

It's not until I am pressed that I give any of it back. What am I?

 

 

With metal fangs I lie in wait, I need not stealth nor bait.

My prey comes but never alone, and to all I take vicious hold.

I bring them together like glue, and escape me they all do. What am I?

 

 

I have no edges yet sharp I can be, and with no form even flat, you see.

I can be held but not touched, I can be hit but not clutched. What am I?

I have seas with no water, coasts with no sand, towns without people and mountains without land. What am I?

This will probably be easy.

 

If I was a book I would have a beginning, middle and end, but I don't. But like a story I have two sides. What am I?

You know where I'm coming from, Allen.  I think the last guess was "String, or nothing!"  (In the book, anyway.)  It just came to mind when I noticed this thread again; the idea of the riddle being all important.

 

With that said, there's a few riddles here with no answer, or with unconfirmed guesses lying around.  We need the riddlers to come back and put us out of our misery!

Close, no cigar...

 

A beard.  Stroked deliberately with a razor, stroked idly whilst musing.
