up to and including the wine bottle rolling pin
Even my normal rolling pin is barely long enough for me. Rolling with a wine bottle is only something I've done once and it drove me crazy.
Oh, it's crazy aggravating, no doubt. But I can never seem to remember I need to buy an actual one, and I don't know where I'd put it if I did.
I have two awesome looking pink rolling pins, but they are hollow plastic and therefore have no weight to them - awful to use. My regular standard size wooden one just goes in a drawer with things like melon ballers and salad tongs and whatnot kitchen stuff. It fits in diagonally.

I haven't been able to internally justify a marble rolling pin, just a wooden one. Which goes in the off-size drawer like msbelle's. But if I had one as long as I wanted I'm not sure where it'd go.
I have a fab marble rolling pin, that I think I got at Lechter's going-out-of-business sale. It currently goes in the cupboard that has cookie sheet and etc.
I have a marble rolling pin, but I don't use it nearly as often as I use my big snooty French-style rolling pin. I like it because you never have to clean bits of dough out of the hinges.
I have a marble rolling pin that sits on a little stand on the counter and a wooden one that goes in a pullout wire drawer in the awkwardly shaped cupboard that couldn't usefully hold anything until I installed a drawer in it.
My standard pie crust is like that one but with more measuring and less smoking and no freezing of anything. Half as much butter/shortening (whichever I've got) as flour, and half as much water as butter, mixed with my hands and rolled out not nearly as thin as it's supposed to be. I don't know if it's flaky or tender, but it tastes fine to me. I do mean to try the CI recipe with vodka at some point, but that requires buying vodka.
