Ed Note: Hey, this is our new guy David Forrester. He's a transplant from Boston so while we've tried to warn him off of reaching for the Big Dig comparisons every day, he'll probably slip a few past us at some point.

Everyone's got an internal editor, right? He stands around and prevents you from saying things that are out of character for you.
