    Six years ago today I pushed out my own rugrat. One of the ob/gyn residents, a darling young thing, asked me if I wanted a mirror to see "the crowning head." Vom! Ur, no thanks, just let me know when he has slid all the way out. That will signal the cocktail hour, thanks! #livestream

    It disgusts me that this woman (or at least, presumably, the father) is of Norwegian descent. Please to be getting your icky lack of boundaries away. Enda en norsk fitte (på TV!)... akkurat det vi trenger. Dra meg baklengs inn i fuglekassa.

    @pureblarney: Thanks for the confirmation. I'm aware that most words have similar definitions in Scandinavian languages and wanted to ensure that when I am profusely swearing at a Norwegian, I'm doing so accordingly.

    Having just dropped a spore recently, I remain absolutely confused about one's burning desire to make childbirth a three ring circus replete with AV staff, every single family member within a 30 mile radius and the desire to make it available for public consumption. People have no sense of boundaries, do they? #livestream

    @QueenCeleste, @bboston88, @quickqueenof:

    During those lovely parenting classes, people asked the most daft questions. How many people are allowed in the delivery room? How many people can visit? Can my husband tape it?

    By the third question I got so annoyed that a loud "Good grief!" escaped along with a head shake and an eye roll. I wasn't very popular after that.

    Really - people don't bring the entire family out for an appendectomy or tonsillectomy. Why would they bring a box of tools to this - an actual medical procedure? I feel really sorry for the nurses in L & D. #livestream

    I don't understand some gay men. Some are gifted like this one, a CUNY scholar with a 4.0 GPA, yet he got stuck in the chelsea gay stereotype of being a steroid queen and posing almost naked in gay magazines and owning a gay bar! I mean c'mon, if you are gifted with intelligence and talent, why not go out and change the world? I guess the superficial life of gay glitz, glamour and circuit parties is just too enticing for some. #benjaminmaisani

    @Don Servillas: How many people are really changing the world at their job? There are lots of high flying lucrative careers that have lots of superficiality and don't make the world a better place.

    He's his own boss, he's not stuck in cubicle-land, he works with friends, and he's around cute gay guys. He and his partners maintain nice bodies they sometimes use in ways to help promote their small business. Maybe he put fun over ambition, but I'm not seeing how his life path is so horrible. #benjaminmaisani

    Hear, hear! to MessiahsHandle. As a fan of the Coop, I've been surprised at the choice of mates he's been associated with. Sounds totally snotty, but welcome to the real world. An Ivy Leaguer and so-called world respected journalist traipsing about with cookie cutter wine salesmen (Julio) and bartenders (Ben)? Is there such a shortage of gay men who can match him point for point in terms of refinement and education? Lucky boys these guys who get to marry WAY above their stations, and only because of the way they look. I supposed Andy is truly gay after all. Typical shallow looksist elitist queen.

    Cooper is a well travelled guy who comes across as very down to earth for a wealthy famous Vanderbilt. What's the big deal what if he's attracted to immigrants working common jobs instead of American Ivy League captains of industry?

    Lookism? Julio and Ben look like cute and fit guys in their 30s but I doubt either one of them has been fighting off modelling contracts. #benjaminmaisani

    When I heard that the Coop was dating this guy it was as if something inside had died... forgive the melodrama, but I believe in this case it's warranted. You imagine that a smart, successful journalist would chose someone who was worthy of...at the very least, my intellectual fantasy. An equally smart and successful gay, quiet, maybe bookish, or perhaps a designer or artist - not tortured, but focused and independent. Someone who's able to stand on his own whilst Anderson is braving hurricanes on the gulf coast or dodging bullets in Waziristan...but alas Coop you consistently choose the stereotypical gays. Hunky boricuas, twinky latinos, and now a muscly beefcake beau hunk who straddles the line between Sean Cody and Honcho... more often shirtless than shirted..AND owner of a gay bar? Really, Andy? He can't even publicly declare he's gay, but chooses time and time again to shop at the Duplex? It's all so terribly cliché. Well enough is enough, my celebrity crush is officially over...That's "Se acabo" to you, Anderson. Ok Maisani was the valedictorian at CUNY, but I think the naked arm wrestling, the fondling of drag queens, the perpetual shirtlessness has nullified what little respect I may have had for the man. This guy had better be a fucking closeted Proust scholar before I regain any respect for the Coop. But somehow I fear that it's just too late, baby.

    @MessiahsHandle: Pretty much all the male celebrity gays choose partners substantially less successful than themselves, no? The closest thing to a power couple I can think of is Siegried and Roy, and I don't even know if they're actually a couple.

    Dating someone opposite to you in some ways can be good. Two repressed quiet whitebread WASPs would be one really repressed quiet whitebread household. And would a bookish designer be up for things like shark diving and the Real Housewives of Atlanta? #benjaminmaisani

    It has happened to me, and I find it insulting.

    If this guy were on steroids, his body would look totally different. I would expect more exaggerated proportions, more vascularity, and leaner, more angular forms generally.

    Personally, I think he looks good: he has a very strong, naturally developed build: not a kouros, but rather a young Hercules. #benjaminmaisani
