The Story Behind Jef Patat

First of all Jef Patat is not my real name. It’s a nickname I use ever since I set my first steps on the internet. And that has been a while. Remember those funny dial-up sounds? If you’re nostalgic you can get to hear it once more together with a short explanation of the content you can check this video:

Jef Patat is actually a character from a Flemish comics series (Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanus_(comics) ). So, Jef Patat, I was young, liked the antagonist character and never changed it. If you'd like to know how he looks like, this is a picture of one of the older editions: The Jef Patatoes invasion.

My Real Name

... is not important at all. I like to keep an air of mystery about it just for fun. I have no illusions about it, if you'd put some effort in it I'm sure you could find it.

If I could change it?

Well, you can change your display name so there's no 'if' and I have no intention to come up with something else.

Nominations

I wonder if anyone watches this...
