Captain, the decency filter is off-line!

One of the websites I visit regularly is Trek Web, where I get a daily dose of information about Star Trek. One of the panes on the website routinely posts photos from Flickr that are Star Trek tagged. There is usually some photos of actors, products or toys, convention, or gaming photos. Just about anything.

Today, however, I visit the site and lo and behold there are a number of pictures of topless-and-not-censored Marina Sirtis (Counselor Troi, Star Trek: The Next Generation). I know that the photos are pulled by some bot or something and that there is no “decency filter” that intercepts the process, but I just found it amusing. I figured it wouldn’t be there for long, so I thought I’d make a screen capture…for posterity.

You can click the image below for the full-size version.

What’s even more interesting is that there is a poll about Marina underneath the images.

Old-Time Ferris Photo

Bruce Ferris (My dad’s cousin, so my ??) recently sent a scan of a newspaper clipping that featured that Park Theater baseball team.  Two of the members of the team are Ferrises.   My grandfather, Carroll Ferris (bottom row, center) and his brother (exactly what would he be to me?) Lawrence David Ferris (bottom row, sixth person).

Since my dad’s family is from West Virginia I’ll assume this was in WV.  I don’t know much about this and our best-guess is that this article is from the late 1930s.
