This was the attached photo:
A photo of me, peeing on a sheet of cardboard? Once I got over the initial disappointment that it was not porn, I took a closer look and noticed that this was no ordinary sheet of cardboard! This was a cardboard mock up of "The Yodeler" exhibit. It was a interactive health exhibit, based on the Cliff Hangers game from The Price is Right. Instead of dollars, each tick was a gram of fat. Guests would cycle through a day of meals and choose foods that would usually eat.
After each meal, the yodeler would go up the cliff the number of fat grams your selected meal had. If you picked over 72 grams of fat... over the edge fatty!
Here's the final exhibit:
If there were an award for health exhibits based on The Price Is Right games, this would at least get second place.
I'm not sure if it was Meghan's intent, but I spent a while reminiscing about the design, fabrication and installation of this exhibit. Those were very, very good times.

It wasn't my intent, but I'm glad you got some joy out of the image regardless. It sure made me laugh.
I was just there (sunrise, WV) and it is a pretty exhibit...I remember slaving over the design of those trees. Oh, good times.
What would get first place? The contraception Plinko game? You know where you drop the sperm discs from the top and see if the land on an egg?
Looking over this entry, I too thought back to the old sunrise days, when me hair was slightly shorter, my beard slightly thiner, and my attitude was way, way better. They were good times, and I think I needed this little romp down memory lane as a reminder that it's my attitude that determines if it is a good time or not, not the situation itself.

All I know is I'm still trying to lose the 5 pounds i gained on the Sunrise install.
