Revelations about my friends (or, Random paraphrases from recently, provided with some context)

me:

How old are racehorses typically?

Regan:

Usually about two or three years old.

me:

That's it, eh? So for the rest of their lives are they just put out to stud?

Regan:

Yeah, basically.

me:

What about show jumping horses?

Regan:

A little older, like 7 years old.

me:

Oh, so they last a little longer?

Regan:

Yeah, well they're not worn out so quickly, right.

me:

And do they use the same horses for both? Like, after a racehorse is retired, does it ever go to show jumping?

Regan:

No, I don't think so.

me:

How do you know so much about horses? Oh that's right, you're a girl.

Victor:

me:

Victor:

I know. They're my groomsman shoes.

me:

Your brother had you wear those at his wedding? Oh that's right, your brother's a hipster.

me:

So we're decided on sushi then?

Megan:

Yeah, someplace with good rolls.

me:

Oh that reminds me, we should really go to Posh, they have a deal right now with non-stop sukiyaki and sashimi.

Megan:

But not sushi.

me:

Yeah, the sashimi is all-you-can-eat too.

Megan:

But not rolls. With rice.

me:

But... oh that's right, you're all white.

Whitey:
