little. yellow. different. A weblog by Ernie Hsiung

mrs. beyonce robinson

I just worked thirteen hours, working in an enclosed space with four or five other people. When you do this, for weeks, nay, months at a time, conversations turn, uhm, a little bizarre.

(We are smoking outside the building. It’s silent.)

Web Developer #1: When I was in high school, I once got detention for dating a 37-year old woman. The catholic school I went to felt it was unbecoming as a young, Catholic gentleman.

(more silence)

Ernie: That sounds familiar. What’s that phrase? Something Robinson?

Manager: Mrs. Robinson. It’s from the movie The Graduate. In the movie, she had an affair with a much younger man. I hear they’re gonna make a remake.

(Long silence. We continue smoking.)

Web Developer #2: A REMAKE? With Beyonce? What, will it be a MUSICAL?

I would go into a whole monologue involving musical numbers that includes Jay-Z rapping about plastics and Ashanti as Mrs. Robinson’s sensitive (yet sassy) daughter, but it’s late, and I’m tired. And besides, who would play the Dustin Hoffman role, anyway? Usher’s already been in a movie.

There IS a god!

So I wonder who they’ll cast…

Beyonce will butcher Mrs. Robinson and the pedestal I have her on. (Mrs. Robinson that is, not Beyonce)

A little off-topic, but when my sister went to New York she saw The Graduate with Kathleen Turner and Jason Biggs. When Kathleen Turner took off her clothes, someone in the audience yelled “put them back on!”

The next morning, it was on Opie and Anthony. I wish I could say that my sister was the one who yelled, or the one with the tape recorder, but sadly she was just the one laughing her ass off.

Yeah, I saw that on the stage, too, with ole Kathleen. She has the build (and voice) of a truck driver. Poor girl.

They’re also making a movie in which Jennifer Aniston plays the suspected off spring of Mrs. Robbinson and the Dustin Hoffman character……. I think they’re running out of movie ideas, hmmm maybe they should make iloveegg the movie…

I’m pretty sure (Lil’) Bow Bow’s career needs a boost.

Maybe they’ll cast Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore. Oh, wait…

And instead of plastics, they’ll dish nanotechnology….

I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

i should totally start smoking so i can hear these kind of conversations.

I always thought Usher was gay. He was in a Twix commercial or something last year and he seemed a bit… nelly. Not the rapper, Nelly… but obviously gay.

I think it was remade… Tadpole?
