**Paco** , the cook who was referred to when George found a rubber band in his soup at Monk’s Diner.

Another, but I don’t know if he counts, because he was made up by Elaine. How about **Eduardo Cariccio** , the Spanish bullfighter?

Ruling, here? George said that the makers of TRIVIAL PURSUIT intended to write “Moors” but they made a typo, and the Bubble Boy kept insisting that the card actually said “Moops.”

Someone already nabbed “Mulva,” under her real name of Dolores.

Backwards. Bubble Boy knew the answer was “Moors” but George refused to accept it because the card said “Moops”.

-Joe, descended from Moops!

Okey-dokey. The Bubble boy’s name is Donald, btw. The folowing dialogue is taken from [StantheCaddy.com](http://StantheCaddy.com) (Stan the Caddy is also a Seinfeld character):

\*GEORGE: All right BB. Let’s just play… Who invaded Spain in the 8th century?

DONALD: THAT’S A JOKE. THE MOORS.

GEORGE: Oh, Noooo, I’m so sorry. It’s the MOOPS. The correct answer is, The MOOPS.

DONALD: MOOPS? LET ME SEE THAT. THAT’S NOT MOOPS YOU JERK, IT’S MOORS. IT’S A MISPRINT.

GEORGE: I’m sorry the card says MOOPS.

DONALD: IT DOESN’T MATTER. I’S THE MOORS. THERE’S NO MOOPS.

GEORGE: It’s MOOPS.

DONALD: MOORS.

GEORGE: MOOPS,

DONALD: MOORS!

KRAMER: Hey, anybody home?

N: What should we do?

KRAMER: Huh, hold these pies.  
GEORGE: Help, someone.

DONALD: THERE’S NO MOOPS. YOU IDIOT.\*

**Joel Riffkin** , Elaine’s boyfriend who had the same name as a real life New York serial killer. Since she didn’t like him having the same name as a serial killer, she tried to get him to change it. One of her suggestions was the football player called “O.J.”

In retrospect, that is simply hysterical.
