I won't be around to set up as ballot in four days. I'm just sayin'. I'll be on vacation, and dark gray, from July 26 - August 6.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

We can still discuss, right? This is my first proposal and I don't remember the timelines.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jon, do you want to set it up now and send me the link, and I'll post it when the time comes? Or does that ignore some aspect of the process?

Well if you make the ballot before any discussion at all occurs it basically says that the discussion is not useful to the shaping of the ballot. Now that might be true to an individual proposer, but it seems sort of spit-in-the-eye-of-the-process.

Wikipedia tells me that it's the atomic number for iodine and it's the international calling code for Cuba.
Which is my way of saying I've got nothing.

Since I can't count, but can google, I would like to reserve 56 and 57 in advance for, respectively, Joe DiMaggio and Heinz ketchup.
Ummmm, Natter 53: all that and a joker too? Natter 53: we love our prime numbers? Natter 53: middle-aged?

We could go with 53rd and 3rd (from the Ramones).
