table stakes

The minimum amount required to play a hand of poker. Also, the minimum amount of effort your lazy ass needs to expend to compete at work, in relationships and basically all facets of life.

Look, I've set the bar very low, but showing up to work is table stakes for keeping your job.

Burning at the Stake

An execution method that involved tying the accused to a wooden stake, surrounding them with flammables, and burning them to death.

The accused witch was killed by

Belmont Stakes

The third race in the Triple Crown. It is held at Belmont Park in New York. This is the longest race in the Triple Crown, as it is 1 1/2 miles, and it can make or break a Triple Crown champion.

The most impressive running of the Belmont Stakes was in 1973 when Secretariat won by an astounding 31 lengths and set the still-standing world record of 2:24 for a mile and a half.

A very large race track in Elmont, NY bordering Floral Park. A great place to drink when all else fails. Belmont Stakes allows kids to drink there of all ages with anything being said to them. The first weekend in June is the best time to be in the parking lot getting shitfaced.

First Saturday of June, 90% of your friends with be getting drunk outta their minds in the parking lot of Belmont and no one will question their age.

Guy 1: It's the first Saturday in June, what do you wana do?

Guy 2: Are you crazy it's the Belmont Stakes?!

Guy 1: Good point lets grab a few dirty 30's of natty and get wasted.
