SLIVER “A palpable conglomeration of wayward thoughts and shellac.” “Ambitious, audacious, under-realized.” “Stuff.” All these definitions are used by people with thesauruses to describe SLIVER (1992). Originally intended for his roommate at the time, “Bweezle” Langford, as a testament to the sacrifice Bweezle had made for Th(e) to open a pickle jar, the piece fell into disarry when Bweezle took an ax to it.
