Talk:Handlebar Club

Ha
I know that a Wikipedia talk page is no place for this sort of comment, but I can't help myself: this is by far the funniest fucking page I have ever read on Wikipedia! Hahahaha!!! Good work to whoever put this together. :)-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 20:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I enjoyed writing it even more than you enjoyed reading it, I'd wager. Pip-pip! Skomorokh  21:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You know what? I still think this is fucking hilarious! Hahaha! My God this is good. I wish there were more articles like this. It's almost like something out of Uncyclopedia, only it's true!-- Pericles of Athens  Talk 01:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Requirements
"The club's sole requirement for membership is "a hirsute appendage of the upper lip and with graspable extremities";[2] beards are absolutely forbidden." obviously if a beard is fofrbidden there are more requirments than the article suggests.

jcm
 * I am not a native speaker (or writer for that matter) of English, and I thought that "requirement for" is something one had to have, while a beard is something one must not have; so two requirements but only one requirement for. Is this incorrect? If it's obviously wrong to a fluent English speaker, please feel free to alter the phrasing. Thanks for the comment, Skomorokh  21:27, 1 December 2008 (UTC)


 * The Economic Times source in the article reports that "London’s Handlebar Club was founded in 1947, its only qualification for membership being “a hirsute appendage of the upper lip and with graspable extremities”." Skomorokh  21:29, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
