Tom Kayes Real Last Name Revealed!

[Automaggin2]

hahah is this true, tom real last name is Kotsiopoulos

http://airsoldier.com/~haveblue/tech/patents/5280778.pdf

same name on the RT patent

[OrangeDude]

Tom's name ISN'T Tom Kaye??? What gives with the fake name? Btw is that his house address on the patent also? Cuz that's not the stores address haha. I wonder if this thread will get canned before any more people see his personal info.

[FooTemps]

I already knew that... Actually, a lot of AO members know that. It's just that Tom Kaye is easier to remember and spell... lol

[joeyjoe367]

Kotsiopoulos? What nationality is that name? Czech? Ukranian?

I feel LIED TO, and I'll only feel better when there's a free extreme sitting at my doorstep!

/me sits in corner and pouts.

;)

its greek


I learned this at the 2001 Iao, it was a diablo trivia question. Kaye derives from his mother, she was a school teacher and the kids trying to pronounce Kostiopolous was atrocious, so she used Mrs. K. Tom uses Kaye because it is easier for the industry

[Miscue]

That's also not his real moustache. :)

[Snooky]

I doubt it would be canned as its public domain but conceiling personal info would be a nice thing to do.

[rhetor22]

Well i guess its time to move out of the country again for a while Tom.

We'll miss you.

don't worry, i won't say a word.
:D

And there are some from way back however it's rare to find it spelled correctly! Other than on the patent papers.

So, the next time your friends are complaining and saying "The Greeks? They may have given us Aristotle and Plato and Homer, but what did they do for paintball?"

Tell em they gave us Tom Kaye.

[MikeCouves]

Hahaha. Yeah I think it's a great idea, it's easier to REMEMBER not only spell which IMO is something needed.

[Bluntman]

I had a english teacher who was greek and shortened her last name from Panogeoterias to Panos.

Maybe, but a good question would be if he cares or not.
