Krista, I have been meaning to answer your question regarding the Possible Hotness of McNulty. I don't know that I find him hot, necessarily, but I do find myself wanting to take care of him. Cook him a hot meal, maybe lend him some comfy slippers.
A few years back, a few friends and I had the same 64 ounce Bubba Keg insulated travel mug. (used to transport vodka from bar to bar.) To avoid confusion, we all named our Bubba Kegs and wrote their names on them with a Sharpie. I named mine McNulty. McNulty eventually got lost in the shuffle. I can only hope that someone, somewhere, is enjoying him.
