The recent Gmod Scientist mod video made me realise that Johnny Toast's past is arguable as shrouded in mystery as Ghost, in fact possibly more so since the Frye's never went into any detail for the character.

Heck, he doesn't even have that much of a personality. Toast is considered by the fandom to be an intelligent, quick-witted individual with a serious drink problem and a tragic past, but Cierra's portrayal of him is, and I don't mean to offend when I say this, a bit bland. Cardboard. Two-dimensional. To her credit, she has added some interesting facets to his character (including one that, to Jon's continual chagrin, seemed to stop short of confirming the Ghost/Toast ship was a thing (in Toast's mind, st least), and suggesting that the spook-chasing Brit swings more ways than one, if you catch my drift.

But is he really British though? The fact that in his 2013/2014 incarnation when the old player model was still on the workshop, his family were described by Ghost as, and I quote, "a bunch of hicks". And don't forget that time the new immortal alien vampire version of Light Zeron sought revenge on Toast for leaving him at the orphanage.

Actually, that could be why Gavin wanted revenge on his brother too. It kinda makes sense if you think about it, his own twin brother leaving him. Or maybe Light Zeron IS Gavin? You could fill up a column just thinking of all the possible theories.

I've already voiced my opinion that his sister Jenny is also Jenny the cop from that last prison video, and that clinches it for me. She's so Texan it's unbelievable.

For the sake of argument I am going to consider the Galaxy Imploder video non-canon for a minute due to the fact that most of the canon from the episode was merely speculation on the Frye's part during that godawful period in VTale known as 2015. What effect does this have? Johnny Ghost now has only two potential fathers. It doesn't change anything about Toast though, besides the fact that Toast's father now didn't serve in the army with Ghost's father.

So now in this new timeline, we have the Toast twins, Johnny and Gavin. Is the father Jonathan from the scientist video? If the mannerisms and the voice don't suggest so, the physical resemblance certainly does.

So if he died in 1976 and Toast was 6 at the time, that would mean that he was 4 when his wife died. But we're going to ignore that and say it was time travel. What I meant to say was, he would have been born in the year 1970 (I work this out by means of terribly terribly complicated mathematics), which would make him 46 this year, were it not for the whole time travel thing.

But that doesn't stack with the young Johnny Ghost in the 1990's, does it? Oh for goodness' sake Jordan, can't you just once do your fact checking before doing this to us!

Anyway, never mind me railing against Jordan being an absolute nerd, back on topic for a sec. So Johnny was sent to live with the hicks and his adoptive sister Jenny, though apparently he went back to his original family at some point afterwards since he's so darn British. What happened to Gavin we will probably never know but evidently it ended up with him falling in with a bad crowd.

Now it going to try and stick Galaxy Exploder back in canon for a second just to see if it fits. Since there's no dates attached you can stick it pretty much wherever you like. Clearly it's before "1976", and it's interesting that Jon Sr's profession changed from that of soldier to scientist. Even if he was a medic, it still doesn't quite make sense unless he was like the TF2 medic or some crap like that. Or maybe John was called in to evacuate him because of his science stuff and he was just given a weapon? In any case, that still leaves one mystery unsolved (lil' reference to theforest04 there rawr XD), which is that of the woman who ripped off the plot of Terminator in the same video. Who was she? How far in the future did she come from? Who was she trying to kill, and why?

So there you have it. Toast IS British after all, and so is Gavin.

1976. Dammit Jordan, you always have to go confuse things.
