Eating blood? What is that about?
I assume it has to be congealed to eat it rather than drink it. I don't eat or drink blood either, if that makes anyone feel better.

I have eaten blood, pigs' blood to be specific; black pudding is among the nobility of dishes. I also like my steak medium rare, though more to the medium end of the scale. Were I not to tolerate doing so would have more to do with personal taste considerations, including animal welfare issues, rather than some random injunction in a dusty and increasingly irrelevant storybook. The opinions of imaginary characters and the people who pretend to speak for them and know how they supposedly think don't impress me at all.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Got that beat. I once ate my first wife out while she was menstruating. Can I be honest? Gentle readers, it did not taste good.

I've done that in the past. I believe it's known as a Dirty Sanchez, describing the ersatz Spanish-style moustache worn as a reward.

What does that even mean? More secular?

You said that Americans are just jackasses or something like that. That is an over-generalization.

Actually it's called earning your Red Wings. Personally I think it's gross but to each their own.
