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?

Those were fun. Here's one more.

 

What is green and fuzzy, has four legs, and can kill you if it lands on you?

Here's a couple more:

 

 

I'm left behind if hard to find, struck by poles and fall in holes. What am I?

 

 

Within me stands a figure of fear, I have many ears yet cannot hear.

I am sometimes vast and tall, and sometimes barren and bald. What am I?

 

 

I am thrown about to amuse, though I have a practical use.

For luck keep me around, under this beast I can be found. What am I?

 

 

To those I'm with, I may bring happiness and comfort.

In the blink of an eye, I may be gone with no effort.

To those I'm with, I am always entirely unknown.

But those around may judge them, the fault is my own. What am I?

 

 

I'm long and thin you see. Count my feet, I have three. What am I?

I would say it has "legs", not "feet", but I guess that can be argued. Regardless, there's another answer that I seek.
