Gmail Themes Make Me Go Terminal

It happened late last night, I was in Gmail cleaning up my mess of an inbox and then "Themes!" popped up at the top of the page by settings. "Oooh, what's that?" I said aloud and like I was just dropped into a Goodwill sale, I tried on 30 themes and skinned my e-mail with the likes of  mountains (Google sets it to the closest mountain range near your set home location), there's boring old pebbles, beach (I wonder if it chooses the nearest beach?), graffiti advertising Google, some lame attempt at anime and then just when I was getting a little disappointed by the lack of creativity to the themes, I came upon Terminal. Can we say a time warp, glitch in the matrix and flash back to Pac-Man, the Tandy monitor even. Even Linux doesn't use that  green and black! Terminal reminds me of a time, when even though we all wanted more red, black and yellow, a CMYK world, all we got was green and black to make us push and want more. So we pushed past it and here we are again. Can we rest and reminisce in Terminal and just kick back while the country slowly digs itself out of an economic hole, winter creeps in,and the government transitions?
 
I think so, for now at least.
