I also have the same brain/filter problem. I'm afflicted with a disease that makes me believe that if it pops in my head then I'm obligated to say it out loud. It's almost like an OCD thing, where I feel like I'll explode if I think of something and try to keep it to myself.
And I'm not convinced it's automatically passive-aggressive to do that. Many times, I just think that what I've said is so damn clever that I'm convinced others would want to hear it, too. It's just sad when I find out, many times, they don't.
In fact, I nominate the above paragraph as the mission statement of TFP.

Would anybody be surprised to learn that when Grancey and I see one of those rampaging children in a store running towards us, we mention letting one of our feet slide out juuussssttt a little. Hey, if the parents think the word "store" is synonomous with the word "playground," then we feel it is our civic obligation to give them the full playground experience and assist them in falling to bust their asses.
