… hello New Hotness!
The wait is almost over. While you sleep tonight, the industrious, cheerful, but somewhat smirky and satirical elves that run Fanatical Apathy are going to shut the site down, throw a drop cloth over it, and when you wake up on Saturday morning…
A whole new Fanatical Apathy will be born.
That’s right, in a few short hours All will be revealed. A new look. New features. And a few new co-authors to help expand and enhance your blog-visiting experience.
I’m very excited and on the verge of giving away more. But no, I’m going to wait, and so must you. For now… sleep, my pretties. Sleeeeeep….

1Well, to quote the title of that other NPR word show, “Says You!”
It’s not the restyling I’m interested in, it’s the promised new contributors to go along with the Felberness.

2How do those smirky and satirical elves find the time to do it all?
I thought that baking Cynical Mints* for the Girl Scouts was a full time gig.
* (Now with wry flour. And irony enriched.)

7Adam, are you going to land on an carrier and say “Mission Accomplished” when it’s done? That would be soooooo sexy.

8New design? I think I have some of those dancing-girls animated gifs from Duke Nukem 3D that you can have if you want. And this bitchin’ skull smoking a joint as it laughs! Just let me know.

9Ohhhhh, I’m excited. And no, I have no 411 or a preview on the changes. Curses!
OK FA’ers. If you’re bored during any part of today before the new FA, come check out a blog I’m contributing to on The New Republic. It’s about the World Cup and features talented writers, producers and directors — most of whom are also kooky liberals don’t ya know.

13coop,
to quote German player and coach Sepp Herberger “das Runde muss in das Eckige” (the round thing’s gotta go into the rectangular thing). Everything else is footnotes.
Oh, and no hands.

15max bob,
you’re jumping conclusions as to what time zone the felber elves are working in. my guess is that it’s an outsourced operation in bangalore, which means you’ve got a few more hours to wait.
