T. Becket Adams
By day, T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) is a mega-star in the conservative blogosphere, as a D.C.-based editor at The Blaze.
By night, when he’s not catching up on his favorite TV shows (currently True Detective), Adams transforms himself into the “Lonely Drinker,” inhabiting bars and (perhaps auditioning for a position with TMZ or BuzzFeed) tweeting wry observations about other bar patrons — and uploading the occasional selfie.
Here are some excerpts from tonight (for the full timeline, click here).
I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen anyone in “True Detective” drink water. It has been coffee, beer & hard alcohol. Which is how it should be.

This is a nice lounge and you come in here wearing flip flips and a sweaty undershirt? Freaking savage.

@BecketAdams I really hate the casual-ing of everything in America. Some things and places should be non-casual.

They’re a family of tourists. Looks like they came from hotel pool. Midwest accents. Do we all look like this when we go abroad?
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@Rob_Province Agreed. This is kind of place where you should wear a tie. Now they’re playing cards and enjoying endless coke refills.

Kids look college age. Also, they’re all playing with iPads … while playing cards. This is now more fascinating than annoying.

@Matthops82 I come to this bar to be left alone. Not to listen to a bored Midwestern family suck down cokes and play cards.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@BecketAdams Heh. Lonely drinker isn’t the way to go, my friend.
— Matt H. (@Matthops82) March 15, 2014
@Matthops82 It’s the only way to go. That way no one sees me make an ass of myself.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@Matthops82 I’m tempted to lean over and ask the husband, “How much for de wife? How much for de girl? How much?”
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@Rob_Province The kids look like they’re in their 20s. That’s why annoying. Too old for this. If kids, I wouldn’t really care. @Matthops82

I’m not really a HUGE jerk. I just like bars that are discrete and quiet. Not reminiscent of a grocery store.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Brb…going to go play cards with this family.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Well that was interesting. Just played rummy with the family. They wanted to let me know they’re unimpressed with DC.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@BecketAdams That was before they met a real live journalist with official credentials and what not.
— Shadow geek (@Shadowgeek75) March 15, 2014
@Shadowgeek75 I don’t like your tone, lady.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
I’m not sure what that family finds unimpressive, but I am from “flyover country” and I think DC is quite impressive.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Couple near me is…interesting. She’s all over him, telling him life story, likes, dislikes, etc. She’s younger and he’s… wearing a ring
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@BecketAdams Hello daddy issues…..
— EducatédHillbilly (@Rob_Province) March 15, 2014
@Rob_Province More like hello divorce papers.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
I should clarify: By “ring” I mean “wedding ring.”
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Based on this conversation, this woman is not this married man’s wife. But, boy howdy, is she behaving like she is.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
I mean, they *could* be married. But then the part just now where they told each other where they went to college is…weird.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Yes, I think I’m live-tweeting an inappropriate rendezvous. Because I’m apparently a little trashy
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
.@BecketAdams You missed your calling. You should work @TMZ @Matthops82
— ★♥ Harriet Baldwin (@HarrietBaldwin) March 15, 2014
@BecketAdams are you angling for a job at BuzzFeed?
— CarlToddHand (@CarlToddHand) March 15, 2014
@BecketAdams You know what I’m going to ask you right now, right?
— RB (@RBPundit) March 15, 2014
@RBPundit I do not.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@BecketAdams Seriously? Ok. … is she hot?
— RB (@RBPundit) March 15, 2014
@RBPundit Ah! I see. Yes, of course. Skinny little blonde thing.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
I think I’m going to move to the far end of the bar. This is gross.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Oh God, I sat down next to a mouth breather/chewer. So gross. Okay, this bar sucks today. Hard.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@scottlincicome Hey, there’s nowhere to go when you’re at rock bottom. @seanagnew
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
@BecketAdams I wonder if there’s someone tweeting about the weird guy that keeps moving to different seats at the bar.
— Matt H. (@Matthops82) March 15, 2014
@Matthops82 Hahahahaha. There probably is.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Trust me, fellah, the bar nuts are not your last meal. Calm down.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
My experience today is so far the greatest argument I’ve heard for drinking alone.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
And the bar just started playing “Panama.” All bad feelings and irritation instantly melts away. Oh, how I love Van Halen.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Fancy selfies. In the can. pic.twitter.com/a6Wuao0LUN
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 15, 2014
Called home, dealt with you jackalopes, & made fun of people at a bar. Happy St. Paddy’s Day. Now leave me alone. It’s True Detective time.
— T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) March 16, 2014
So…yes. I’m drinking a case of beer while watching “True Detective” in bed. Because I’m an American, that’s why.
