Welcome

First off, welcome to Is That a Banana In Your Spandex (ITaBIYS).  Essentially, the inspiration for this blog was from observing my fellow attendees in a yoga class I am taking.  For the sake of anonymity, it will remain nameless.  In the nearly two years I have been taking this class, I've noticed certain archetypes, people who sort of do the same sorts of things, act in similar manners, dress alike, but are not, as far as I can tell, the same person.  This observation has led to internal speculation as to whether or not these people can be found in every yoga course across this great nation of ours.

This thought led me to my good friend Christy.  She's taking a Jazzercize class in leafy suburb of Atlanta which is where she lives, she doesn't drive down from Cincinnati on a weekly basis.  Christy is a noticer too, so I suspected that she might be noticing the same sort of thing in her environment.  I asked, she thought it sounded good and, within a couple minutes, she came up with the title of the blog.

As with all things, this will develop with each entry with Christy and myself writing about the people we see.  If you're reading this and have an idea, we'd also welcome suggestions or even a written entry which naturally will be credited to the person who wrote it.  Just remember, we're trying to avoid writing about one person you see doing odd things.  Write about sociological trends you witness instead.  It doesn't have to be a class, just some social gathering scenario would work (ie: buses, bars/restaurants, ballgames, etc.)
