Did you ever wish you could have a Hot Dog Stand-themed meta.stackoverflow.com? [closed]

Question

Are you depressed by all the gr[ae]y colors plaguing meta? Do you wish you had some exuberance on your favorite website? Are you hungry? Are you still reading this?

Well, worry no longer. I'd like to think I've developed a solution to all of your problems with a user style mimicking the abortion known as the Hot Dog Stand theme from earlier versions of Windows:

HOT DOG STAND YEAH

Here is the CSS:

I have not fully tested every aspect of it, but for the most part it seems to work (as well as Hot Dog Stand possibly can work, that is.)

You are a sad, strange little man, and you have my pity. +1 for effort though. — squillman, Jan 8 '10 at 18:59
@Paul - that sounds like a one awesome Greasemonkey script that needs to be developed... — John Rasch, Jan 8 '10 at 19:03
Did anyone else read the title as "Did you ever wish you had a Hot Dog Stand named meta.stackoverflow.com?" and wonder what on earth this was about? — mmyers, Jan 8 '10 at 19:08
this is a good start, but there needs to be a bit more yellow in the design. Can you post at least 2 screenshots? one of home page, the other of an individual question? Both should have more.. yellowness. See the screenshot of the real HDS posted below for comparison. — Jeff Atwood, Jan 9 '10 at 9:58
@Changeling: the page has been parked, please remove the link :( — badp, Sep 9 '10 at 10:35
@Double Welbog, looks like it already has been killed with fire. ... Mmm, fire-grilled hot dogs. — Pops, Sep 9 '10 at 13:24
