Text reads: The individual's favorite possessions-- the golf clubs, the
shoes, the tie pin, the Ferrari, the bowling ball, the art collection, etc.
--are carefully sawed in halves. The edges of the cuts are filed or
otherwise cleaned to reveal precise cross-sections of the objects which are
embedded in a transparent plastic matrix. The objects are arranged so that
the cross-sections face upward. The matrix forms a vast circular floor and a
top layer of smooth, indestructible, transparent plastic is poured as a
finish surface. A large building is erected over this floor, a building held
up with a maze of elaborate wooden trusses. No pole or column interrupts the
floor. The appropriate decor and sound system are installed. A suitable name
is found. A discrete advertising campaign is initiated. Only the highest
quality roller skates are allowed on the floor.
