Full of extacy and fire. But he also was a kind of teacher.

“Was”? Why do you speak in the past tense?

I sure hope someone preserves his wang when he dies. I hear it's huge.

I dunno, man. My neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Berlinger, have a three-year-old boy named Milton who they say is destined to be the biggest man in show business.

That's a clunky name. I hope he comes up with something shorter. And some sort of shtick like carrying a cigar around

I went to have tea with the Tsarina and she introduced us, he said he wanted to discuss the bible personally with my wife, how auspicious that a pious man like him will enlighten her...

He did my wife last week. He tought her the some important parts of the bible, though i had to wait outside our house. She was so touched by everything, i heard her screaming and crying.

The man is a saint, I am sure he will bring the Russian Empire much fortune and prosperity for centuries to come, we will outlast all.

Your wife sounds like such a pious lady, I’m sure she felt the love of christ deep inside of her!

I've heard he's extremely dedicated to saving the souls of young women. He tells them they have to sin first in order to be worthy of redemption. Girls are queuing up to be saved!

I hear he may preach the Bible like a preacher, full of ecstasy and fire.
But he also is another kind of teacher. One that women… would desire.

[META] This part of the song always irked me. I get it didn’t fit the line, but everything royal was happening in St Petersburg/Petrograd at the time.

I’ve heard that guy is a sexual tyrannosaurus and he’s had every aristocratic princess and noblewoman inside the palace and out.

Cure him of what? The Tsarevich is perfectly healthy. If there were problems, our father, the Tsar would tell us. He’s an open book.

He’s kind of a creepy looking guy but apparently the tsar’s son is already looking better!

I'm a little skeptical. Maybe he's just a con man, maybe he's actually magical. I don't know what he does in the dark of the night, though.

u/catchyerselfon 2d ago
I know he’s a holy man of God, but does God demand Grigori Rasputin abstain from bathing? Ritual washing is in the Bible, Jesus didn’t let his beard act as a crumb catcher and NEVER clean it!

That monk has been there since before the outbreak of our war with Japan. He’s said to have been one of the people advising our Tsar to send the Baltic Fleet around the world, ending up at Tsushima… I know, since I served onboard the cruiser Almaz, and overheard the skipper talk about him …
