I'm currently rereading my Love & Rockets collection. I'm at about #33, in the middle of "Poison River" and "Wig Wam Bam", which is where I tend to slow down. I have trouble keeping track of all the characters in "Poison River" once they get into the druglord plot, and "Wig Wam Bam" is just too slow.

But anyway, I noticed, in the earlier part of the series, that it seems that Jaime Hernandez's(or perhaps just Maggie & Hopey's)default description of sexual deviance is "getting tied up and beaten with a hot wheel track". Now, when I first read that, my brain parsed it as a "wheel track"(whatever that was)that was hot. It wasn't until a few rereads that I suddenly realized it was "Hot Wheel[TM] track", which made more sense, and was an interesting mental image. So either it's a common phrase in Oxnard, CA, or it's a private joke of Jaime's, because he's used it three times so far in the series. What's up with that?

Most of you probably don't want to know what's on my desk. But in case you do, I've decided to post it here. )
