Your idea reminds me of a pataphysics club that existed in England in the
fifties (I've only heard bits and pieces about this by word of mouth from
someone who was good friends with a member but...) who existed soley to
administrate themselves. Members wore a little badge to identify themselves.
I write-
In the UK they have a club called The Winkle Club. A winkle is an edible
sea-creature, like a very small snail. Anyone can join the club - the only
rule is that you have to have a winkle upon your person the whole time. If
you are challenged by a fellow Winkle member and you do not have a winkle in
your possession you have to pay a pound to the Winkle Charity.
