The holidays are over, and what better way to celebrate than by burning a bunch of Christmas Trees on the beach?

Half-remembered conversation from a wedding:

Guy: "See you later."
Me: "What was his name?"
Rahul: "Oh, it was........"
Me: "I should know this, I've met him a bunch of times."
Rahul: "Yeah, it's.....I forget"
Me: "Does it begin with a D?"
Rahul: "Maybe.....Dan?"
Me: "No. Dick? No, it wasn't that. Dave?"
Rahul: "No, it's more of a second tier name."
