I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.

YYYYYEESSSSSSSSSSS
between this, the news about Dixon and my discovery of John Deere fruit snacks this is shaping up to be the sweetest day ever.

Tips to help endear me to Lumber:
- Do not overuse the ellipsis (...). Use a period. The ellipsis is for trailing off... so if you trail off all of your sentences... me the reader finds you weak. Period.
- if what you wrote is funny, there is no need to write "Ha Ha!" or the dread "LOL"
- a lot is 2 words.
Godspeed and good luck, Tim Lumber.

Why Does tim lumber like Random Capitalization?
Are you serious about this Sam? Ensuring the welfare of your blog to a grammatical neophyte?
Posted by: E$ | January 9, 2009 2:56 PM
E$ and AC-M, Tim Lumber's grammar might take a little getting used to, but his enthusiasm is unparalleled. It's going to be quite the ride -- I'm sure of that.
Posted by: Sam Sessa | January 9, 2009 3:05 PM
Its not the grammar that scares me, its reading a nightlife blog written by someone who still has an AOL address.
Posted by: KAZ | January 9, 2009 3:53 PM
he any relation to Tommy Timbertoes?
Posted by: ss2 | January 9, 2009 4:36 PM
no picture, is this because you are getting to popular Sam.
Posted by: jason | January 9, 2009 5:22 PM
...but AC-M I love the ellipsis...as I am prone to trailing off...
:)
can't wait to check out the new guy!

Tim(ber) Lumber?
Is this a real person or a Sessa alter ego with a punny name?
Inquiring minds wanna know!
Evan,
Have any of the local confectionaries sent you a John Deere letter yet?
Posted by: GDA | January 11, 2009 3:39 PM
Hey GDA,
As far as I know, Tim is a real person -- not one of my alter egos. His first column will post today.
Posted by: Sam Sessa | January 12, 2009 8:25 AM
GDA i would like this to become one of the great mysteries of writing! Am i real...or not? You decide for yourself, maybe in the next 20 years we will let you know the Truth! Until then you will have to play the role of inspector gadget...and try to find your own clues!

Tim Lumber,
Personal I'd prefer to be John Steed of The Avengers, more class, suave, clever with much better fashion sense.
Beware I don't do the Odd Job number with my Bowler!
Posted by: GDA | January 14, 2009 12:58 PM
Tim Lumber,
Would have better if I had include this last post.
The Avengers '66 (promo) - The strange case of the missing corpse:

Just because
Steed's partner, Mrs. Emma Peel Feature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ka2wFSSOph8&feature=related
Emma Peel = M. Appeal = Male Appeal = a woman desirable to men

there needs to be a re(re-re)make of The Odd Couple starring Time Lumber and GDA
Posted by: Evan | January 14, 2009 2:22 PM
Evan,
Do you want to play Murray?
Posted by: GDA | January 14, 2009 5:44 PM
GDA..now thats how you leave a comment in style! Emma Peel is fine like wine! I think i will save that on my computer! You gave me a great idea, once in a while i too, am going to leave something from you tube! Im gonna search the web for the craziest thing i can find, and leave it on my next comment! Evan i think you will be getting that lead role as Murray...Inspector Gadget...your career in hollywood is over!!!!
Posted by: Tim Lumber | January 14, 2009 9:33 PM
I couldnt figure out how to put you tube on here! Evan or GDA, i guess its up to you's to keep us you tubed entertained! My next column will probally be on here Monday, its a lot better than my first story! I will be on here that day! I kind of wrote 1st story Jacked at HammerJacks on 1 hour sleep, plus i was so drunk i could hardly see the keyboard! Evan after i seen the YYEESSS now world famous comment, i decided to write the next story that will be coming out soon!
Posted by: Tim Lumber | January 15, 2009 1:02 AM
GDA i liked the you tube piece! Emma is one hot detective! I think inspector gadgets days are done! Is Evan going to play the Murray role?
Posted by: Tim Lumber | January 15, 2009 1:48 PM
GAW YES GEEZ I'LL BE MURRAY
Posted by: Evan | January 16, 2009 9:56 AM

Tim Lumber,
"Im gonna search the web for the craziest thing i can find"
My contribution,
“All This and World War II is a 1976 musical documentary that juxtaposes Beatles songs, performed by a number of musicians, with World War II newsreel footage and 20th Century Fox films from the 1940s.”
The soundtrack songs performances include The Bee Gees, Elton John (with John Lennon), Rod Steward, Bryan Ferry, Peter Gabriel, Jeff Lynne (without ELO), Tina Turner, The Four Seasons, Frankie Valli and Roy Wood (Ex ELO, without Wizzard)
Complete info on the movie and the soundtrack is at Wikipedia:

Just because.
A Roy Wood hit in England at about the same time with what I think has rather funny lyrics. He never cracked the charts here. I bet he has misgivings about leaving ELO so early, which was the senior co-founding leader .

Man, Tim Lumber has to be about the biggest dumster I have ever met. ... [more nasty stuff]
Posted by: Jack Mehoff | April 15, 2009 2:52 PM
So,what happened to Tim Lumber?
Posted by: Doug | June 15, 2009 2:52 PM
He fell.
Posted by: Sam Sessa | June 15, 2009 2:57 PM
He fell..OK. Tim came to our blog, steelernation, back in April. He had some amusing comments realting to the Steelers, and his ability to talk smack. Then he disappeared. We miss him.
I assume, given his writing skills, choice of vocabulay and spelling, that he is no longer writing for the Baltimore Sun.
Posted by: Anonymous | June 15, 2009 3:21 PM
He never wrote for the Baltimore Sun. He was a guest poster on this blog. I'm hoping Sam didn't pay him a cent, just provided an outlet for his poorly-spelled rantings.
