I’m pretty sure it’s derived from “the blood of the covenent is thicker than the water of the womb,” referring to drinking wine during mass as a sybmol of Christ’s blood.
It means the opposite of the modern usage. I think it helps people pursue their religion even if their family doesn’t approve.
Livin la vida loca
I live on a different continent because the blood turned out to be quite thin
Wait, isn’t it super creepy to ritualize the drinking of Jesus blood? All hail vampire Jesus!
Got tired of relatives quoting ‘Perviy Kanal’? and ‘Krimnash’?
I wish it was that innocent
Please tell me your grandmother Anastasia.
No. Why?
^There were at least two typos in that comment. First off, it should have been great-grandmother at a minimum, and “your (great) grandmother was Anastasia.”
I figured you’d have the coolest story ever if you were forced to flee Russia because your great grandmother was the thought-to-have-been-executed Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna.
I don’t care what people say, she survived and is still living with Billy the Kid, Elvis, and Hitler in South America.
i like STL, astute history guru
Besides being named after a great grandmother, I am afraid I would have to disappoint 
Billy the Kid is buried in Hico, Texas. They’re an old HS football rival of mine.
Can we all agree that Putin should just name himself Tsar? That would pretty much be the final piece of the true BSD puzzle. Plus, just having a Tsar again seems like an awesome idea. The world needs a Russian Tsar.
Didn’t Time (or some other) magazine already called him that? Speaking of the devil, have you seen today’s Bloomberg article about his daughter? Made me realize I never even knew her name!
^Dammit. I googled “vladimir putin’s daughter” expecting to see somebody that looked like George W. Bush’s daughters, or Donald Trump’s daughter, or John McCain’s daughter, or some other hottie.
Don’t bother, guys. She’s no Meghan McCain.
No, he survived. In the documentary, Young Guns 2, it’s clear you never see Pat shoot Billy. They were old friends after all. Pat let Billy go on the condition he never reveal himself unless there was interest in making a “moving picture” of his life. Spoiler Alert: The old guy telling the story in the first Young Guns, that’s the real Billy the Kid.
