Kamen Rider Posted February 17, 2013 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2013 With applogies to Jeff Foxworthy.... If your facebook freinds list looks like the TWU union roster, you might be a foamer If you've ever looked at anything writtin by Wallyhorse and said "hum, that's a good idea...", you might be a foamer. If you can recite, in order, every stop the 2 train makes but can't remember the names of half the teams in baseball, you might be a foamer. If, when giveing your adress, you incudle the nearest subway or railroad stop, you might be a foamer. If you ever got into a free-for-all for the railfan windown, you might be a foamer. If chosing between a family event and a train event is a diffcult decision, you might be a foamer. If the first foursquare badge you unlocked was "trainspotter", you might be a foamer. If you stay out all night to ride a rerouted subway line, you might be a foamer. If you can remember the numbers of subway cars retired before you were born, but can't remember people's birthday's, you might be a foamer. If your hard drive is nothing but pictures and BVE files, you might be a foamer. If someone says to you "porn" and you immeditaly think of a picture of a red bird, you might be a foamer. If you sent a pettiton to tysons that they make train shapped nuggets, you might be a foamer. If you have no idea what I'm going on about, you might be a foamer.

Quill Depot Posted February 17, 2013 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2013 If you use the word foamer out of the transit community and it's extensions, you might be a foamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted February 17, 2013 Share #11 Posted February 17, 2013 You might be a foamer if... You take one or more "sick days" a week to go transit fanning. You purposely choose to reside in proximity to a subway/bus terminal. You select a school or workplace based on the multiple amount of transfers you have to make. Your trips to "the store" last in excess of two hours long and go through two boroughs. You only go out with your friends because you know you'll be riding the bus/subway at least once that night. You would rather go out and transit fan then spend time with your girlfriend/wife. I have to say I've been guilty of all of these at least once. (Sometimes I wonder what the f**k am I doing with my life). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted February 17, 2013 these have to be said in a very specific pattern; "If you've ever (insert action here), you might be a redneck foamer." something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted February 17, 2013 Share #13 Posted February 17, 2013 yaaay fooooamiiiing You might be a foamer if... You take one or more "sick days" a week to go transit fanning. I am guilty of this, plenty of times. I am not ashamed in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted February 17, 2013 Share #14 Posted February 17, 2013 If you ever purposely avoided a bus route or train route because of the type of equipment used, you might be a foamer. If you have more pictures of buses and trains than of yourself on your Facebook page, you might be a foamer. If everything that comes out of your mouth is bus or train related, you might be a foamer. If riding a certain train on a certain route "made your dreams come true", you might be a foamer. If your bedroom has more MTA items than an actual crew room, you might be a foamer. If you run after a bus just to take a picture, you might be a foamer. If you can identify a bus or subway car just by looking at the number, you might be a foamer.

ttcsubwayfan Posted February 17, 2013 Share #15 Posted February 17, 2013 If you avoid a line because it has old trains, you might be a foamer. If you avoid a line because it has new trains, you might be a foamer. If you call everyone in the transit enthusiast community a foamer, you might be a foamer. If you call someone who goes out of their way to photograph a vehicle a foamer, you are an arrogant, self-righteous prat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted February 17, 2013 Share #16 Posted February 17, 2013 Lol, well not sure about the last part, but if its the main point of the trip and it takes a few hours of traveling and waiting, then you gotta wonder if that was time well spent.

If you're on vacation, then it's probably time well spent, especially if not everyone in your family is going with you (i.e. drop the women off at a shopping mall and then head out). As for real life... there's far worse things you can do. High school students do this. A LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted February 17, 2013 Share #18 Posted February 17, 2013 I don't know why I wrote "real life", I meant in your home town. Here, 15 year olds get stoned at the fall fair. After that, ANYTHING seems like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R188 7857 Posted February 17, 2013 Share #20 Posted February 17, 2013 If you've ever one hour doing nothing to catch a bus/train, you might be a foamer. If you've ever spent the whole weekend to railfan and not do homework, you might be a foamer. If you've ever put a train or bus name as your username outside of NYCTF (instagram, facebook), you might be a foamer. If you've ever screamed for a train, you might be a foamer. If you've ever tried to hug a train or bus, you might be a foamer. If you've ever wrote a word problem in school about trains or buses, you might be a foamer. (I hope I don't start anything here.) If you've ever made a pushcart with all the subway lines, you might be a foamer. EDIT: If you've ever "hummed" the propulsion of the trains, you might be a foamer.

Kamen Rider Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share #23 Posted February 18, 2013 I do have a few "here's you sign" type: True story, I was walking through manhattan on my way to class when I was at John Jay, when a couple walks up to me and ask "which way is the water?" . I just looked at them and said "You do know you're on an island, right..?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted February 18, 2013 Share #24 Posted February 18, 2013 If you've ever spent the whole weekend to railfan and not do homework, you might be a foamer. I just don't do homework, period Well you are starting something... It seems by all these if's, in one way or another we're all foamers... C'mon, admit you've done at least ONE of these things people have posted. I believe that most of these posts are meant to be good natured humor. We are all foamers though. We all foam over one thing or another. Be it trains, planes, football players, baseball players, hot women, or anything else, I'm sure we are all guilty of foaming over something.

Metro CSW Posted February 18, 2013 Share #25 Posted February 18, 2013 If you defend your opinion about a new station (in a previous thread) knowing that it might be a fail anyways, you might be a foamer. If you avoid a bus route because it only runs on only one type of bus fleet, you might be a foamer. If you can somehow track a specific fleet whether it's bus or subway and it's easy for you to find, you might be a foamer. If you skip and day of work/school to hunt a new fleet in service, you might be a foamer. If you prefer that one line because of past events and activities on that route , you might be a thirsty foamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
