Where is She?

Many of you may have begun to notice that Teabag Christie (airfix_9 for those of you who are new) is noticeably absent of late. Rumor has it that she has gone on vacation to Toronto, Canada, by way of Marbella. Toronto? Why would anyone vacation in Toronto you may be asking yourself (unless you are Ricepudding9...). After all, it's not hockey season, and I can't think of any other reason to pick Toronto of all places, for someone coming "all the way across the pond."

Again, we dispatched our crack investigative team to look deeper into the possible reasons for visiting Toronto. Could it be to visit the ever famous "Spotted Dick Pub"? I don't think that they serve tea though, so not likely.

It could also be to shop at the popular "Smokes & Pets" store just outside Toronto. Alas, we figured this to be more the modus operandi of one Mr. Sipwell than that of Teabag Christie.

We then deduced that it may be work related, as Christie's employer, Sony, has recently purchased the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto. Perhaps she had been given free tickets to a show? Inquiries to her home office in London, however, revealed that they do not give away tickets to "employees of her stature." So back to the drawing board...

Finally, eureka (and not Eureka, Kansas either; another place that would be questionable as a holiday destination)! We came across this:
Apparently, these guys get together and grow mustaches for charitable donations. They do this over a very short time period (usually 1 month or so), and have been very successful. Best we can figure, is given Christine's recent inability to "grow back" her mustache, she has headed for Toronto in hopes of learning these guys' secrets to rapidly growing a mustache.

Here's to her efforts to appease the minions of Powersoccerland, by pouring forth all of her effort into getting the "stache" back. We'll treat her to some twiglets when she returns for her efforts



UPDATE: Further research by Master Sipwell has revealed that, if her trip is successful, upon her return, Chrisitine has applied for membership in a club which meets at a local pub in London. The club is made up of all men currently, so her potential acceptance is a source of great pride for her friends here at Marx brothers. You can visit their website by clicking on their logo below.

The reasons you list must be the only possible for travelling to that place.
