Jim's Act
Timber Jim is known as one of the best performers for any team. That is because of his unique talents as an actual lumberjack. These include
- Scaling a tall "snag" off the pitch and standing on top high above the crowd (as of 2007 discontinued due to safety concerns).
- Cutting a round from a log with one of his chain saws every time the Timbers score
- Hanging above the crowd on a zip-line with his drum
- Singing "We are the Timbers..." to section 107 (Timbers Army), eventually spelling out T-I-M-B-E-R-S (the R extended, imitating the roaring of a chainsaw)
- Pounding on a large drum, yelling out "Port-land (beat, beat) Tim-bers"
- Doing forward handsprings (quite a feat, as he is in his 50s)

Famous quotes containing the word act:
“Think of those barren places where men gather
To act in the terrible name of rectitude,
Of acned shame, punk’s pride, muscle or turf,
The bully’s thin superiority.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
