I'm going to retable DH discussion when gaming is done.
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought tabling a discussion was when you took it off the table. So...wait, is "retable" supposed to be the opposite of "table"? And not "table again"?
Oh, ha ha. As I suspected:
Table as a verb has two contradictory meanings, one in use in the United States and the other in the remainder of the English-speaking world. In the United States, the motion to table (or "lay on the table") is a proposal to suspend consideration of a pending motion, while in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, to "table" a motion (or "place on the table") is the means to commence discussion on a proposal.

So it is the opposite of flammable/inflammable, which actually mean the same thing. Interesting.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
"table" is the "aloha" of verbs.

I think "table" might be my new answer to everything.

Hah. Sorry, I had no idea it had a different meaning in the US!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Next bureau title?
Kevin, look closely at the voting rules [link] before you propose a thread. If a vote doesn't pass there is a 6 month (I think) moratorium on the issue. Waiting for an airdate (or at least an air month) might put a thread proposal in a better position.
