Burl Ives' Secret, Masonic Christmas Messages?

[3113]

So, it turns out that Mr. Holly-Jolly Christmas himself, Burl Ives, was a Freemason:

Which makes me wonder...do ya think the songs he'd most famous for singing might have hidden, Masonic messages? "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "Rudolf" and such? I mean everyone's always accusing the Beatles and Judas Priest and such of having hidden and backward messages in their songs...why not Burl Ives?

Nobody suspect Burl Ives! (Said in the 'Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition'!)

Burl Ives in his youth was a notorious and semi-dangerous radical lefty, hobnobbing with the likes of Pete Seeger and possibly even Woody Guthrie. Somewhere along the line the Disney Combine got their hands on his cerebellum and worked their muscine magic on him and turned him into a lovable gramps. But a Freemason? I'm shocked. Maybe he was a double agent?

Walt Disney was a Freemason, too.

Walt Disney was a Venusian. I have documented proof.

Nuh uh. Where did he hide his antennae?

No, wait. If he was Venusian, here did he hide those blinds?

 

[Guest]

Aw, dang it.

Disney wasn't a Freemason, but he was a member of DeMolay.

Walt Disney - World famous cartoonist, Walt was a DeMolay (a member of a fraternal organization for young men sponsored by Freemasonry). He did not, however, join the Masonic organization. Rumors circulate continuously indicating that he was a Mason and some of them have proven quite tantalizing including those relating to his brother and the many Masons he hired as cartoonists. No one, however, has been able to produce the name of a lodge to which Walt might have belonged and surely if he were a member, that information would have come to notice long before these many years after his death. Despite a burning desire on the part of some to list him as a member of the Craft, there is simply no provable evidence that he was.

My bad.

Not too sure about the antennae, though.

What about his frozen head? Is that a member?

The head, yes. The body, no.

Actually, he's in a silo in Chatsworth, California, along with Bruce Lee. Frozen, waiting for the economy to get better.

Are they gonna fight? Walt Disney's Frozen Head vs Bruce Lee? I'd pay to see it. If they can get some sort of tiny legs on the frozen head, that is.

Of course they're gonna fight.

They're gonna go head to head.

 

[elsol]

I wanna be a Mason! Sounds fuckin' cool!

Do they believe in the Alien Mama-Jama who is going to come down and take us all to paradise?

 

[elsol]

Of course they're gonna fight.

Bruce Lee wins... Jeet Kune Do WAAAAAAH Striking Scream.

But he's got to do it fast or else Mickey Mouse will interfere.

You've got it all wrong. The Bohemian Grove has already laid claim to Walt's head.

Yes, that's right . . . the Bohemians get head from Disney.

Mickey Mouse's White Glove Style cannot possibly complete with the formless style of Bruce Lee.

No. They're into secret handshakes, putting weird symbols on money, writing up odd operas (The Magic Flute), and, as you can see from the Ives picture, wearing funny hats. Also aprons:

Oh, and they're big on running countries, too.

No, that's the Celestine prophecy.

MM has secretly been studying the Southern Florida Big Feet Thousand Kicks Style... I hear he's so good he kicks cash right out of people pockets.

Does that come with free dental? And a golden parachute?

But he is not the chosen one.

That honor belongs to Bruce Lee, the Father of All We Now Hold True.

But was Bruce a mason? I think not. Let's keep on topic here!

If you're a Mason, hell ya! As well as a swell apron.

I love it for the bling.

I mean, where else (except a rap video) can you wear something around your neck that rivals the clock around Flava Flav's neck?

Booyyyeeee!

That looks a little Aztec which is right up my alley!

Do I get a secret Masonic Name... and is Big Poppa Sol taken?
