The 2018 Wonkville Bracket is here! Since I'm not sure anyone wants to go through 64 links at once (and I'm pretty sure IntenseDebate would have a fit if I tried to fit it all into one comment), we'll do 8 match-ups at the time and give each 3 days. Just comment somewhere here with what you want and if I can figure out what you mean to vote for it'll be fine.
Basically just look at the links in the top comment, click on them, choose which you like better in each match-up, and post what those are in a comment here.
Are you going to get to climb down on piers and up on suspension cables in icy winter weather? Fun!
Just remember this: David Steinman designed the Mackinac Bridge and started a company known (wonderfully) as Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist & Birdsall. The Parsons Corporation, a soulless conglomerate headquartered in Pasadena, bought up the company because they thought it would look cool to have all those bridges in the brochure. Now it's gone forever like my old company, the also-wonderfully-named Harland Barthomew & Associates. Sic transit gloria mundi, bitchez.
I have a slow-rolling medical emergency in the works, so if I disappear for a day or so, it's probably not the worst thing, just the drugs doing their job.

Exclamation points should suffice. I think. I hope. Maybe.
I didn't want people to miss a round if they were busy for a day or two.
Well-Tempered Clavier?
Oh, World Trade Center. Corrosion already?

If I had a reliable photo host, I would. Quite dramatic downturn on Friday, should be fully remedied this coming Friday.
Like bonking a fish on the nose with a worm, eventually I'll bite on Nite Vale.
