Is there any options to use the additional bleed action provided by the combat version of Taking the skin : minion during another methuselah's turn ?
Innocuous example, The Ankou with abombwe burns a vampire who just hunted, then plays taking the skin and untaps. Can he bleed now ?
I know it sounds twisted, but the card text clearly says I can bleed *this* turn. Even if does not mention other methuselah, semantically it sounds ok to act the turn Taking the skin is played. Sounds like a nice discovery, but i'll let you crush my dream with funky explanations

Combat
Abombwe
Cancel a frenzy card played on this vampire as it is played.
Skin. Play when this vampire burns a minion. Put this card on this vampire and untap him or her. This vampire may bleed an additional time this turn and gets +1 bleed and +1 stealth when bleeding. Burn this card during your discard phase. A minion can have only one skin.

Also a (maybe stupid?) question: if I diablerize and then play "taking the skin" I can bleed twice with the minion, each time with +1/+1 right? (provided I have a freak drive or similiar to untap in between)

@Reyda : as I read the card, the card does not explicitely allow you to ignore more restriction than the NRA rule. So you can't use it on another player turn.
@Johanes : I see no reason why you couldn't. (well, I am not a good rule connoisseur, still

That is allowed, yes.
Ye that seems the logical answer, and the ne I'd give as well, but the card text is kinda ambigious here.

Wait, it just says burn a minion... So you can self destruct your own minions for this! Like, oh, Smash and Grab at
(+1 stealth action.
Burn 2 life from an ally or retainer.) on your own Underbridge Stray to get +1 bleed at +1 stealth for two bleed actions?
OMG, I have a puppy mill sacrificial altar deck bubbling in my head now! I just need to throw in Tier of Souls for extra bleed and theme and an excuse to go infernal!
