Second, do you know these people personally to be calling them foamers? I could be wrong but check your facts before using a title like that.

metsfan Posted January 22, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 22, 2009 Agree. I've wanted to ride the system on one swipe as well. With the looming service cuts it looks less & less likely to break any kind of record aside from platform wait time. This is their last chance. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but check you facts before using a title like that. [Title changed by the administrator] Sorry, Harry. I thought it called that from Straphangers. I don't know anything about curse word, so I didn't know if it was inapproaxiate language or not. I am not good at writing or spell or I didn't know the volcabulary of it.

It's all good Yuki it's just that some people use that word way too loosely. We'll see if they can accomplish what they set out to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they are both 100% certifiable nerds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, man, foamers are those people who are deeply obsessed with the subway such that they will literally drool when they see a train. I don't think these people are those people. They are more of the adventurous type of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted January 27, 2009 Share #19 Posted January 27, 2009 well as someone who enjoys riding the trains i never understood the points of these adventures. riding the trains is nice, but i think it's best when you can just sit down, chill, and enjoy the ride...not really eating a lot, and being stuck in the system to keep moving and not being able to go to the bathroom, and running for connections to keep on pace for the record just doesn't strike me as something i'd want to do...for 3 hours let alone a whole day... to each their own i guess... and yes i wouldn't go around giving them the foamer label...unless they were overheard imitating train sounds during their adventure...which if they did after 24 straight hours, maybe they'd even get a free pass since it's probably lack of sleep kicking in...

N-Trizzy2609 Posted January 27, 2009 Share #21 Posted January 27, 2009 I wanted to pull a sub-a-thon with my ex Gia and her friend Rachel but after 6 hours and 103 stations later we were like screw it! We did made it far, All station from 179th Street to Coney Island on the All station on the , the entire Astoria Line via the and the to City Hall-Brooklyn Bridge. Too bad we didn't anticipate a G.O. on the and Gia's brother going crazy when he found out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
