Season 1
- Pilot:
- When Tori is going to change before the showcase, everyone rushes behind a screen to help her, including the guys. The only reason they didn't go behind the screen was because a teacher told them, much to their dismay, that only the girls could help her.
- Only seconds later, the teacher gives someone a mic telling her to put it on Tori's head, followed by Tori responding "that is not my head."
- In the end credits, where Tori and Mr. Sikowitz are describing The Slap, one of the things Tori mentions as being on the site is "videos that might get certain people in trouble."
- "Why are you rubbing my boyfriend?"
- Jade makes Tori's character a dog in their first improv exercise. What other name is there for a female canine?
- Beck asking if 'the dog' (Tori) can sleep with him and Jade.
- If Jade hadn't messed up, the next letter in the alphabet improv would have been F. Wonder what she could have done with that ...
- The Bird Scene:
- Tori holds the coconuts at chest level.
- Sikowitz's preference for good coconuts which give him "visions".
- Robbie's puppet, Rex, says "take me to the bathroom, I've got to pee now." Tori then says "he's a puppet, he can't pee!" The puppet then replies "you don't know what I got!" Think about what that implies for a minute. You get that, now spend another minute thinking about that more. Scary.
- Sikowitz refers to Rex as "it." Rex responds by saying "you don't know what I got!" Jade gets a puzzled look on her face, then figures out what he means.
- The funny thing is we do. In the next episode, Rex loses his pants. There's nothing down there.
- When Tori does the Bird Scene the third time around, she trains a bird to fly in and out of the room on cue. When it flies in, we get this exchange:Mr. Sikowitz: "You see the bird too?"
Beck: "Yeah..."
Mr. Sikowitz: "Fantastic..."
- "My grandmummy went to the loo while I snogged the prime minister!" The censors must have been in a severe coma that day.
- Stage Fighting:
- This:Tori: "I'm a throat player!"
André: "Doesn't count."
Cat: "And it sounds kinda gross..."
- It's hard not to see the "girls can't fake passion like that" debate between Robbie and Cat as an analogy for something else.
- Tori's "I'll pull it!"
- This:
- The Birthweek Song:
- The dancers for Trina's birthweek song look a lot like exotic dancers.
- Tori does a sexy song and dance number telling another girl how much she loves her and includes Tori sitting in the other girl's lap. Did we mention that the other girl is her sister?
- Jade Dumps Beck:
- After Tori helps Jade get Beck back, she asks for a ride home. Jade tells her it's "not that far a walk". The implication here is that she doesn't want to drive Tori home because Beck and her need some... alone time.
- An attractive paramedic asks Beck if he's in college (i.e. of legal age) yet.
- Tori the Zombie:
- Cat and Trina sing a song about how they want some girl. It ends with this exchange:Trina: (singing) "You smell so fruity!"
Trina: "Sing the next line."
Cat: "I can't."
Trina: "Why not?"
Cat: "It's dirty..." note
- Trina is on the phone to a doctor, discussing Tori's problem and asks "would I need my parents' permission to get minor cosmetic surgery?" After hanging up, Tori says "what did he say?" to which Trina replies "that I have to be 18 before I can make my -" and glances down to her boobs momentarily, as she is cut off by Tori.
- Tori, Trina and Sinjin all get excited about a vibrating hairbrush.
- Cat and Trina sing a song about how they want some girl. It ends with this exchange:
- Robarazzi:
- This scene takes place in Beck's car:Beck: "Come on, let's just go. It'll be fun."
Jade: "Noo..."
Beck: "Why not?"
Jade: "Because I didn't shower this morning and I had tuna fish for lunch..."
- This conversation can be interpreted another way...Cat: Do you have a girlfriend?Sinjin: No...Cat: Do you have a credit card?Sinjin: Yes.Cat: Why don't you call me sometime?
- Cat's electronic necklace she bought at the sky store seems to work like a rape whistle.
- This scene takes place in Beck's car:
- Survival of the Hottest (aka Trapped in an RV):
- Upon finding out she isn't sweating, Tori feels Jade's neck, collarbone and forehead and just above the chest Jade intervenes with "You having fun there?"
- Cat has some fun with four boys she meets. Most of it is surprisingly wholesome, but there's one scene in which she has a water gun fight with the boys in a bikini. It's quite... interesting.
- Gangsta rapper Fat Biscuit and company come across Beck's RV, which used to be Fat Biscuit's.Friend: "Man, we had some times in there."
Fat Biscuit: "Yeah... Don't talk about it."
- An exchange between Cat and one of the boys:Boy: "You spun a beautiful pot."
Cat: "You helped me spin it..."
Boy: (suggestively) "Later we'll glaze it."
Cat: "... Thank you."
- Tori and Trina get into a fight after Tori discovers her secret bottle of water, complete with plenty of wrestling around on the ground. Beck and Andre look very amused.
- Possibly Andre's "I'm sweating in places I didn't even know could sweat."
- Wi-Fi in the Sky:
Jade: "Why are you doing favors for a cheerleader, and what is she doing for you?"
- Jade's screen name, ScissorLuv, is the first major hint to Jade's obsession with scissors. Self-harm in a kids show? You bet.
- Especially coupled with her obsession with Tori, that could easily be a reference to something else....
- When Jade finds out Beck's dog-sitting for his cheerleader neighbor:
- Sinjin being in Jade's house. What he was doing there, how he got in and why Jade didn't file a restraining order against him is a mystery.
- Jade's screen name, ScissorLuv, is the first major hint to Jade's obsession with scissors. Self-harm in a kids show? You bet.
- Beck's Big Break:
- Tori says that she'll do anything to make it up to Beck. Jade bets she would. André starts playing porno music on his keyboard.
- Melinda Murray's (male) stunt double starts hitting on Tori. Tori tells him she's 16, so he walks away.
- It's not hard to interpret Andre's obsession about never having been stung representing a different kind of 'stinging', especially considering how Jade gets stung early on. Although it's also reminiscent of Positive Discrimination, particularly the case from The Animal.
- Right before the end credits, Tori and Beck hug, and it becomes apparent he's touching under her shirt and grasping skin. No wonder Jade starts counting down when she sees them embrace.
- The Great Ping Pong Scam:
- Tori kissed Sinjin on the cheek, to which Sinjin responds with: "Here comes that feeling."
- He also admits earlier to having dreamt about Tori dragging him into a closet and needing a 'favor'.
- Sikowitz's window-tinted van all the kids go into after their rally. Pedophilia-paranoia, anybody?
- Tori comments that Jade's dress feels... warm. (Pause included.)
- The song Tori sings "Tell Me that You Love Me" has a lot of suggestive lyrics, such as "Waking up beside yourself, tell me what you feel inside"
- Tori kissed Sinjin on the cheek, to which Sinjin responds with: "Here comes that feeling."
- Cat's New Boyfriend:
- People with a foot fetish had to enjoy the subplot... groups of people fondling the feet of Trina, Robbie and André, and the 'million tiny kisses' analogy, which they all find rather enjoyable.
- When Jade and Beck are feeling André's foot, Jade looks at André as if she's considering to 'involve' him.
- When Sikowitz sees the cheese fountain going off:Sikowitz: "What the hambones?!"
- This whole conversation:Jade: "(while Cat and Danny are dancing) Daniel ever spin you like that?"
Tori: "You wanna get slapped with a sausage?"
Jade: "Sure."
Tori: "No!"
Combined with the face◊ Jade makes.
- Freak the Freak Out:
- The lyrics to the song "Give It Up" are rather suggestive.Look at me, boy
'Cause I got you where I want you
Isn't it so exciting?
Wanna shake you, wanna break you
Take the backseat, boy, 'cause now I'm driving
- "Class is no place for swearing or vibrating."
- Northridge girls 'should be an adventure', according to Sikowitz.
- Jade, being Jade, is fascinated by Trina's blood.
- Jade tells Cat that her purse is made from "monkey fur", which reminds one of something else.
- When the girls, against whom Jade and Cat sing, take the stage one of them says "Enjoy us" to which Jade replies "Enjoy my monkey fur!"
- Although chaste, Tori peeling off her disquise layer by layer seems to mirror a striptease routine.
- The lyrics to the song "Give It Up" are rather suggestive.
- Rex Dies:
- Sinjin gives Tori his used Special Effects crew t-shirt. When she asks him what the stains on it are he gets very evasive.
- This exchange happens earlier in the episode:Sikowitz: "Tori, I want you to work with Sinjin's team on special effects."
Tori: "Okay, but I know like, nothing about special effects."
Sinjin: "We'll teach you."
(Tori turns around; Sinjin and his team give Tori lustful stares.)
- The machine Rex gets sucked into "sucks" and "blows."
- Rex likes to make jokes about Robbie when he's naked.
- The Diddly-Bops:
"How would you kids like to do something... ''for money''"
- Cat comes to fetch Tori to help Jade. The problem? She can't get her boobs in the hamburger. Later on, Trina has the same problem.
- "I heard the Waggafuffles' airplane fell on a mountain."
- Jade bribing Sikowitz with a dollar to "get to the point". A student bribing a teacher in any form is illegal.
- André sitting alone drinking 'chocolate beverage' is suspiciously similar to an alcoholic.
- The Way Sikowitz accosts the students about doing The Diddly-Bops routine:
- Jade writing a bad word on a kid's autograph, saying "I Write What I Feel!"
- Wok Star
Mrs. Lee: "Don't get your underpants in a twist."Jade: "I'll twist your underpants!"
- This exchange:
- Cat drops her bra in the toilet, and Tori helps wring it out of the water.
- When Jackie Bonet (Trina) fakes a heart attack, Mrs Lee tells another employee if she dies, "just to take her body out to the back and don't tell nobody!"
- The Wood:
- The title itself. Then there's the characters wanting to be on The Wood.
- This faked phone call between Beck and Tori:Beck: "Guess what I want?"
Tori: "Aw, you want me to tickle your tummy?"
- The entire "tummy tickling" conversation falls pretty firmly into radar territory:Andre "Sometimes I do it to myself."
- The entire "tummy tickling" conversation falls pretty firmly into radar territory:
- Jade's "you have a lot of things in there," coupled with that little bite thing she did with her mouth really cannot be construed as anything but a sexual come-on.
- Trina and Robbie get squirted all over their faces and hair with white lotion.
- I'm getting ready to sneak a peek at THE WOOD!
- A Film by Dale Squires:Tori: "Okay, Beck, let me have you on the couch..."
Jade: "Girl..."
Tori: "For the shot!"
Cat: "Can you please tell her not to slap me?"
- The scene with Cat passed out (for pretend) on the floor, while they were filming:
Dale: "She should do whatever feels right."
- The last scene of the film showed Jade's character cleaning off a bloody knife before putting it back in the drawer.
- Sleepover at Sikowitz's:
- When Jade tells Andre that his character is pregnant, his first question is "who's the daddy?", to which Jade suggestively smirks.
- And when Andre's grandmother sees him in character her first question is "who did that to you?!"
- When Tori lays a "Shut Up" Kiss on Rex, he turns to Robbie and says "take me home...!"
- André implies that the dream that inspired Tori's character was...suggestive. Considering Tori's outfit, that's not surprising.
- Sikowitz emphatically tells the remaining actors NOT to look under the bathroom sink, meaning anything from dirty magazines to drugs to... other things could be hidden there
- Really, most of the characters seem to fit some sort of popular fetish, from Jade's farm-girl routine to Tori's policewoman to Cat's flashback attire even to a pregnant Andre. Not to mention Beck plays a character "always invading people's personal space".
- After the boy Tori's been chatting up at the sleepover leaves with Cat, she points to her box of Raisin Bran, being held below belt-level, and says "And to THINK I was going to let that boy have some of my Raisin Bran!"
- When Jade tells Andre that his character is pregnant, his first question is "who's the daddy?", to which Jade suggestively smirks.
Season 2
- Beggin' On Your Knees: Cat getting calls from people who are severely injured in car accidents (one supposedly dies on the line). Even Rex was horrified at the idea.
- Robbie's mention of how he's been in the bushes behind Tori's house. Multiple times. Sinjin later commends him on his bush choice.
- The whole scene where Trina is stretching out her jeans is one massive and glorious bit of Fanservice, particularly where she, in effect gives the dining room table a lap dance.
- Robbie makes it clear to a girl that his groin has healed after previously being kicked there.
- Beck Falls For Tori:
- When Beck wears a dress, Cat says in a picture caption that Robbie wants a pretty dress made in his size as well.
- Robbie seems rather interested in Beck in drag. Moreso than for Tori in the same dress.
- Also, watch the workers on the platform as Beck goes to sit down.
- Yeah, you know Jade likes it when her boyfriend gets smacked around.
- Watch carefully where Jade pins her Visitor's Pass on Rex.
- Ice Cream for Ke$ha:
Gotta love big moms.
- Tori slowly pushing Trina's head below the surface of the water when she's in the bath.
- "Okay, this is actually starting to cause me pain. And not the good kind."
- Did you even SEE the length of the dress Cat sported at one point? It was barely past her butt... some of the other episodes also sport some really short dresses as well.
- Cat talking about how Robbie let a bunch of little kids eat her is disturbing no matter what context you put it in.
- "It's not my fault if dream children find you delicious!"
- The name for the flavor that they end up searching for at the end is "Funky Nut Blast."
- Jade talks about how they spent their afternoon 'violating pints of ice cream.'
- Trina with a pickle in her mouth bobbing her head to the song 'Blow' could certainly be interpreted as a reference to adult activities.
- What exactly did Trina do to freak out Ke$ha, who does not have a reputation as a prude by any means, when they were alone in Trina's room?
- Robbie gets beat up by a group of moms, because he offered their kids free ice cream, evidently coming off as a pedophile. But made even worse when you realize the kid isn't even 17 yet, and was chased into an alleyway by full grown adults and beaten up. He left in the daytime, but it was dark when he came back..
- To everyone above 18: Consider porn genres. Now consider this line from Jade:
- Tori Gets Stuck:
- Robbie drops a bag with a pint of Tori's blood, which bursts all over them.
- Jade's line, "I'll take off her dress!" She sounds quite eager...
- She also says that she's keeping Tori's costume warm, which is sort of a Call-Back to a Radar moment in "The Great Ping Pong Scam" above.
- When the gang arrives at the hospital:Doctor: "Are you his girlfriend?"
Jade: "No. Are you?"
- Sikowitz ends up playing Steamboat Suzy.
- Just what part of the body did Cat's brother paint purple?Cat: "One time my brother painted part of his body purple."
Robbie: "Why did your brother paint part of his body purple?"
Cat: "He had a job interview... (smiles) he didn't get it."
- Prom Wrecker:
- Jade asks Cat if her brother managed to get the 'stuff', which turns out to be a clown costume, a parachute and 12 gallons of blood. Cat informs Jade that he did manage to get everything on the list. Jade is amazed that he managed to get 12 gallons of fake blood. Cat's response: "You wanted fake blood?"
- The blood was going to be used for Jade's one man show 'Clowns Don't Bounce'.
- Andre comments that Doug's diaper "doesn't fit him too well." Cut to a shot of him dancing and quite clearly trying to keep his diaper up.
- "I sing, I dance, I pee my pants!"
- Also, when Andre points this out, there is what looks to be a censor blur over the genitals of Doug, maybe because he's got no support under there.
- Rex is obviously hungover early on in the episode.
- Considering the reputation Northridge girls have, it may be more than that ...
- In the same scene, Rex has what looks like a hickey on his neck.
- Sikowitz keeping his grandmother hidden and unconcious the whole time he's talking to Tori.
- Just before Robbie tries to ask Cat to the Prom, her giraffe makes a noise and she giggles, saying 'he's so inappropriate'.
- Somehow, Jade manages to stuff a shrimp in Tori's bra.
- Tori licks the top of Jade's soda can in anger, but Jade still drinks from it, with a suggestive smile.
- Jade manages to cut power to the lights and screen at the prom, then has a projector pointed at the screen showing disturbing images. Even forgetting that it's a Nick show, some of it is genuinely terrifying.
- Later on, Doug the Diaper Guy is crowned Prom King to Jade as the Queen. He sweeps her off her feet and carries her off bridal style, presumably about to molest her someplace more private.
- There's a brief Panty Shot (of Jade- Doug is a walking panty shot) as Doug picks her up.
- Locked Up
- The episode is filled to the brim with Black Comedy, mainly involving Libyan civil war references. Not only does the leader resemble Gaddafi, Tori states that the beach was also taken over by rebels.
- Robbie is forced to sleep in the bathtub by Andre and Beck, and emerges under the girls' blanket during the night, scandalizing Tori and Trina; despite this, Cat greets him with an eager "hi!". He hid between/beneath Trina and Cat, both of whom are wearing very short shorts.
- Much later, Robbie tries to tell the guards that he's a boy and should be on the male side of the prison instead of the female side. The guards ask him to "prove it", complete with a creepy leer. Robbie decides it's for the best if he just stays on the women's side.
- Given that he was placed on the women's side in the first place, it could have been worse if he was placed on the men's side.
- Somewhere in the middle of the episode, they speak about how the chancellor received his octopus from the prince of a foreign country, when Mr. Sikowitz says he went there when he was nineteen. The chancellor's adviser says that the place is beautiful, when Sikowitz says "is it? 'Cause I don't remember one minute of that trip." This implies that he was either drunk or high during the trip.
- Earlier Sikowitz also said the same thing when talking about his visiting Yerba in his younger days.
- Jade almost getting killed or seriously injured by the female prisoner she angered. It seemed like, for a moment, their confrontation was over until Trina screams and we see the inmate wielding a large board, preparing to strike.
- Being pelted with rocks is apparently a game in prison.
- Tori's fixation on trying to get Jade to hug her continues, this time with enticing body motions. Then Jade drags her to the floor where they sort of, "struggle" for more than a few seconds.
- Later in the episode, Jade says that she "likes it on the ground." In a screencap you can see Jade just barely glance up at Tori either before or after she says it.
- And then there's the whole blinding someone permanently thing even if, or maybe especially, because it's Played for Laughs.
- Helen Back Again
- "Nothing warms my cockles more ..."
- Jade's extremely disturbing re-audition.
- Tori and her mother are doing an interactive exercise that seem to mirror Ellen De Generes's use of the Shake Weight
- Who Did It To Trina?
"Hey Robbie, why don't you come backstage with me and help me do my makeup? Or whatever?"
- Rex to Trina: "You wanna know my two favorite things about you?" She even slaps him after that line...
- If you look carefully, you can even see Rex's eyes drop to her chest.
- Andrè wants to 'go play with Keeko'.
- All of Robbie's version of what happened.
- B.F. Wangs (P.F. Changs) restaurant is mentioned.
- "No one suspects the puppet", Robbie is apparently criminally insane, he/Rex tried to kill or at least severely hurt Trina.
- The word "puppet" is apparently okay when Rex uses it.
- In Tori's version of events, watch where the coffee emphatically spills on Jade.
- Rex to Trina: "You wanna know my two favorite things about you?" She even slaps him after that line...
- Tori Tortures Teacher
- Sikowitz checking his pants to see if he was wearing underwear. He's not.
- "You forgot to stroke it."note
- Jade Gets Crushed
- "Nice fingering." "I think it needs work"
- Robbie's 'lyrics' for Andre's music.
- Robbie has at least three standees of Cat, one of them explicitly called "Flirty Cat". He doesn't want to discuss what he does with them. According to The Slap, he has standees for all of his pretty female friends.
- This discussion:Andre: Did you get my text?Tori: Why would I be standing here at 3 AM?Andre: I'm tripping out man, I'm tripping out.
- Just the fact that Andre showed up at Tori's house at 3am in his underwear...
- The final solution - Andre redoes the song by find-and-replacing every mention of Jade with 'baby', then during the actual performance he just says it's for "my dog... I love my dog." The jokes write themselves.
- Tori seems to have easy access to a Jade-replica costume, perhaps implying some strange behind-closed-doors activities...
- Terror on Cupcake Street
- Cat's brother did something "inappropriate" at a parade and is now no longer allowed near parades, or horses.
- When Jade complains about being elbowed "in the lung," Robbie excitedly insists that he's going to get some ice for it.
- The scene where Sikowitz described himself with his students (which he called "children") in a too familiar implication. It did not sound well to the police officers.
- A lone teenage girl's presence in pajamas talking to a bunch of thugs in the middle of the night in a bad neighborhood is surely one of the creepiest scenes that should not be considered to think about in real life.
- A thug who helped fix their tires showed interest in Jade, his eyes fixed on her and wrapping his arm around her.
- Blooptorious
- Ariana Grande is, according to Christopher Cane, "as sharp as a shih tzu".
- Chris to Avan Jogia: "Well, I don't mean the bloopers from your bathtub."
Season 3
- A Christmas Tori
- Tori greets Andre "Ho ho to the ho!"
- The scene when the mechanical Santa topples over Tori, who struggles underneath to get out. Trina sees the scene but reacts like Sibling Rivalry over a boy instead.
- About a dozen mentions of flocking around a huge tree. Then Robbie asks for a 'flock rag' after Trina accidentally sprayed the flock gun right in his face. Crosses the Line Twice doesn't even begin to cover that one.
- Robbie thought Beck bought him a girl, who was actually Robbie's childhood bully that he wanted to 'tell off'. After they walk off, Robbie wipes his sweaty hand on the girl's back, right above her butt.
- Cat's increased hyperactive and childlike giddiness can make one think she's over- or under-medicated.
- The creepy man who follows Cat around with a cotton candy machine for her present. She pretends to get her hand caught in the machine, screaming. When she says she was joking, the man laughs and says "Kill me with a rock!"
- Her initial reaction to the gift is to scream delightedly "YOU BOUGHT ME A MAN!"
- The climax of the episode had Tori sing the lead, but is definitely overshadowed by the Sexy Santa Dress of Jade and Cat.
- Jade's got gloves and black stockings and her skirt is even shorter than Cat's so there ends up being a couple brief Panty Shots.
- Jade has the lion's share of the episode's radar jokes.
Andre: How does a person go from an A to a D?
- When Andre knocks Robbie out of his chair, she muses "I bet that jingled his bells."
- She is very ecstatic when Cat gifted her with new scissors. Then they talk about a movie called "The Scissoring" (Which is about a dead girl who brutally murders her best friends with scissors, "starting with the pretty one" according to Jade as she looks at Tori.)
- When Andre laments about his grade in music class:
- When she appears on the Vega's doorstep, Jade flatly greets her "Ho ho..." and Tori dubiously responds "Ho."
- Tori's immediate distrust from Jade's sudden visit made her ask, "Did you bring your new scissors?" Jade then assumes a "frisk me" position, eagerly adding, "Don't be shy." She allows Tori to pat her around and true enough, Tori found scissors. It was Jade's old one, which she admits in a rather seductive tone. The camera angle on this scene calls back Jade's earlier snark on Andre.
- Tori seems to briefly glance down at Jade's "area" before finding the scissors on her side.
- The way she tells Tori to beg her for her idea sounds rather seductive as well.
- The Breakfast Bunch
VP Dickers: "I'm gonna make it shine. I'm gonna make it shine REAL good!"
- Vice Principal Dickers matches his attitude perfectly.
- While discussing how much they all crave tacos during detention, Jade notices that Cat is being unusually quiet, accusing her that she "never had a taco" before, thus she is "pristine". Jade asks Cat, "Are you a....vegan?", and describes the joy of tacos in a sexual tone.
- Later, tacos are depicted as a metaphor for marijuana, from the point Trina smuggles a bag of tacos into Tori's locker until the detained teenagers act all hyper and "run-dance" after having a taco feast similar to "The Circle".
- Jade implies that Robbie had "shared a taco" with Tori once before, as evidence that he wasn't a "vegan". She could have been aware about Tori and Robbie's infamous drive-by acting exercise on The Slap.
- Cat and Robbie succumb to Jade's peer pressure to being a "vegan", so they share eating a taco together, implying Their First Time. Scenes of a romantic relationship between the two follow suit.
- If "vegan" is a metaphor for virgin, what does it say that Cat and Robbie are the only vegans out of the six?
- The taco threesome. Jade wants Beck to give Cat some hot sauce for her taco. Cat even coughs after ingesting the hot sauce, akin to cigarettes.
- Robbie defends his "petite" throat as "average", which could imply he's referencing another certain part of his body...
- Tori yelling "FORGET YOU!" to Vice Principal Dickers is a watered-down Precision F-Strike, also a nod on Cee-Lo Green's censored song title into Forget You, which was also used for Miranda Cosgrove's cover.
- Probably also a reference to edited for television versions of The Breakfast Club, where Judd Nelson's "Fuck you!" as the vice principal slams the door is usually watered down to "Forget you!"
- Vice Principal Dickers taunting Tori in the janitor's closet had some definitely creepy harassment connotations.
- Andre wants his older cousin to "get off his chiz". It's been established that chiz is a German sausage. Do with that what you will.
- Just as they're leaving the school, Jade gives Tori a once-over.
- "When you mess with the cow, you get the udders!" Beside the obvious usage of the word "udder" and the kids' confused looks implying some sort of allusion to private parts, Dickers just called himself a female cow, as they are the only ones with udders.
- The Gorilla Club
- Tori "beat the Balls of Pain".
- One of Robbie's butt cheeks hangs lower than the other.
- The Gorilla Club will "jank you up", and Tori is "not afraid of a janking."
- Sikowitz is talking to Tori via Video Mail while in his bedroom. Suddenly a female, offscreen, asks him to come get a sandwich. He gets off the computer mighty quickly.
- Andre: "I think I just stepped in some blood."
- Sikowitz and Cat discuss places to meet troubled girls, like a home for troubled girls or the bus station.
- The fact that the whole episode was about Tori practicing for a scene where she stabs someone in the neck while admitting to pushing her uncle off a cliff.
- Cat suddenly decides she wants to play pirates, and Robbie offers to join her, but she says she doesn't like the way Robbie plays pirates with her.
- Andre walks in on Sikowitz with his pants down (after Tori pulls them down in rage, which is... radar-y enough) and says "Good luck to you", implying Sikowitz is... well, you know.
- The Worst Couple
Lane: "Oh Luthor...why?"
- When Cat hugged Andre when he answered the right question, he told her "don't start something you can't finish."
- Lane walks in on Luthor the janitor holding a wrench and some rope with an unconscious Cat on the floor.
- Cat talks about having a 'closet party' in the janitor's closet.
- When Tori finds out that everyone owned an updated GX cellphone after she had bought the one she refused to get throughout the episode, she curses "DOG JAM IT!"
- Tori shocks Robbie with her phone, under the table.
- Robbie holding down Trina near the end. Trina is on her stomach, and Robbie is on his stomach on her back, and his 'stomach' seems awfully close to her butt... Their positions aren't parallel, but still.
- So, what exactly happened with Jade and the "friendly" dolphin?
- Dolphins are actually known to "rape" humans (and other dolphins) in real life.
- Andre's Horrible Girl
Jade: "But you owe me baby girl."
- Jade telling Cat in an "interesting" tone:
- And later in the episode, Jade tells Cat that "Touching things is a part of life".
- Robbie's "What's up pigeons" sounds a lot like "What's up bitches".
- Andre's rude girlfriend "Hope" sounds like she's getting called "Hoe" quite a lot.
- Beck saying Andre's scarf he got from Hope looks like a pretty leash, implying he may be Hope's dog/bitch.
- Andre's "puzzay" watch and Robbie's "I've always wanted to see a puzzay."
- Earlier, Beck didn't want to eat sushi with Hope and Andre, so he lies about him and Robbie having a "thing". Later on in the episode, when Cat calls both of them to help out with the damages caused by Jade, Robbie's pants are unzipped. What could they possibly be doing?
- How does Jade know that Robbie has trouble operating the zipper on his pants?
- Car, Rain, and Fire
Cat: I'm not gonna lie. My brother's pretty weird.
- In the first two minutes alone, Cat mentions one of her favorite actresses was on a show called I Married My Mom which she watched with her brother at the "special hospital while they strapped him to his bed.''
- Tori didn't get her drivers license because she ran over an old woman in a wheelchair.
- Jade becomes excited to join the girls in visiting a recently deceased actress to "inhale the fumes of her soul."
- "Oh my god, our car is ''topless''!"
- Cat's brother keeps a vacuum-sealed bag of fake feet in his trunk.
- The creepy clown who asks Tori if he can ride with them from the gas station.
- "Well, it's hard to enjoy doing that when my pants are soaked" is said by Jade, which is a few letters away from meaning a different type of 'pants'.
- When Cat tries to make sure her favorite actress isn't really dead like she first thought, she reaches forward, only to be swatted away by 'Don't poke that!'.
- The girls being soaked by Mona's water gun doesn't really need an explanation... just watch it.
- Cat's candle burned the house of the actress down by accident.
- Tori and Jade's Play Date
- Tori gets some Marshmallow Hell from Jade twice due to her character in the play being a narcoleptic.
- The deleted scene on theslap.com, where Jade yells at Tori's butt.
- The lyrics of "Take a Hint" are suggestive as much as how Jade sings her lines as suggestively.
- Get your hands off my hips, before I punch you in the lips, stop your staring at my — hey!
- "It always seems to bite me in the . . ." "-Ask me for my number . . . "
- Jade licking her lips as she walks toward Tori, as well as earlier appearing to slap Tori's rear end, during the song.
- Jade elbows one of the guys in a tender area when he gets too close.
- April Fool's Blank
Robbie: I say we kiss!Andre: Okay, c'mere.
- The whole episode seems like one big acid trip.
- The dance the ladies do while singing "Shut Up And Dance" for Mr. Drysdale (a married man probably in his 30's) is a bit suggestive.
- The lyrics are also rather suggestive, especially "Dance till we drop/'Cause I'm sick/Of the space in between/You and me/Light it up/Till we're making a scene/Quit the talk/Let it rock/If you know what I mean."
- This exchange during the Beverly Hills Volcano bit:
Tori: I'm not in the mood. (suggestively slides her jacket up)
- Jade tickling Tori.
- The game show sequence features Tori being repeatedly tackled and spanked by a giant lobster.
- Driving Tori Crazy:
- "Wazz off!"
- The song that Trina and Cat sang in the car in Tori The Zombie is played all the way at the end, and we hear the "dirty" line that Cat refused to sing. And yes, it ends with "booty."
- Why does Beck keep driving multiple women in his car on the way to school?
- How Trina Got In (aka The Squid And The Coconut)
- Cat keeps candy in her bra, which she pulls out and shares with her friends. Who eat it. She also eats a licorice still sticking out of her top.
- During Trina's audition into Hollywood Arts, Sikowitz drinks some bad coconut milk. From the looks of it, bad coconut milk is a hallucinogen...
- Jade describes Trina's audition as "Like torture. But not the good kind."
- Tori Goes Platinum
- Cat mentions police found a stain in her brother's car, and they didn't know what it was (so we can rule out blood). Considering what cars are used for, other than driving...
- Tori excitedly jumps on Beck and hugs him, while also wrapping her legs around his waist, which appears like sexual simulation.
- Cat's addiction to "bibble" is a metaphor for addiction. Andre even suggests her to chew gum to counteract it, similar to Nicorette. Cat has a former bibble addict handcuffed to her just to prevent her from having bibble. The episode ends with both of them enjoying bibble behind a dumpster.
- Andre walked in on Bruno Mars going to the bathroom and would not leave.
- The Blonde Squad
- Cat's brother apparently gets 'special treatment' from 'special doctors' because it is 'court ordered'.
- Trina blew her nose in Tori's underwear because it's soft. Then, after she gave it back to Tori, who now stands in the middle of the hallway with a pair of panties in her hands, Cat comes by, gets upset and takes the panties, after which she proceeds to blow her nose in them. Trina and Cat both remark on the 'bigness' of the underwear.
Season 4
- Wanko's Warehouse
- Sounds a lot like A Date with Rosie Palms (that might be the reason why in the UK and Ireland, the episode is simply titled "The Warehouse")
- Shortly into the episode Trina informs the group she needs to pee, its suggested she pee in the Bins but Trina refuses which causes Tori to point out that Trina had in fact pee'd in a bucket. Trina apparently thinks theres an important difference and refuses. Towards the end of the episode someone points out that Trina still needs to pee, she responds "no I dont". Trina pee'd in a bin.
- Tori's text transition scene after the kids get trapped in the store reads "Trapped in Wanko's! WDFD!" "WDFD" is supposedly an abbreviation for "whoop-de-fucking-doo."
- When Tori asks who's the flattest, and therefore able to slide underneath the lasers, Jade and Trina, who are definitely well-endowed as Schneider has noticed, give each other looks and step back.
- "Think flat-thoughts".
- Cat mentions that his brother found a vacuum in the Church that he now keeps in his room and that they wouldn't want it back.
- The Hambone King
- As you may have guessed, a lot of gags involving "ham" and "bone" are thrown in there. Example: "He's the best hamboner there is!"
- Opposite Date
- As Tori and Beck are sitting on the curb eating food from a truck, she asks him about one of the food items, "are these clams?" To which Beck responses, "Are clams supposed to have hair?"
- Cat repeatedly winks at Tori when the latter is talking about her non-date with Beck, implying she thinks it might mean she's having.. other activities... with Beck
- When Jade pretends to be Cat over the phone for the second time, she says that Cat's brother locked her in a closet and screams when he returns; both give off some pretty disturbing implications.
- The dog ointment scene involves a lot of talk about the "afflicted area." Left to the imagination, but judging by how uncomfortable the two are talking about it...
- Three Girls and a Moose
- Cat Looking down at her chest when Moose says girls in Canada are "bigger".
- Jade stops her car with Moose inside, then proceeds to kiss an oblivious Moose (who as it may be pointed out, rejected their courtships in the first place). When asking if they can get a burger after, Jade says "We'll see...."
- Cell Block
- Apparently Cat will do anything to use a phone. Yeah, that...
- When Robbie is on the ground typing with a typewriter he tells Andre that he can't have it on his lap because it will crush his "swimsuit area"
- When Tori sits on Cat to stop her from reaching her phone and Cat is struggling, Tori tells her to stop (struggling) while spanking her, which is radar-ish enough, but Cat also giggles at it.
- Tori Fixes Beck and Jade
- Sinjin: Sure, I would love to turn you up a little.
- Jade: Enjoy her cupcakes! (refering to Meredith)
- Jade says she likes to punish herself, further hinting at masochism and an S&M fetish.
- Robbie: That was not my fault; he asked me to lift him over the fence so he could pet the tiger.
- About his little cousin. Cat doesn't say whether or not the child got hurt, but in real life, he could have been killed.
- Robbie sticking a banana in Cat's ear could be seen in a more mature light for some people.
- One Thousand Berry Balls
- At one point, Jade sarcastically asks if Cat wants to hide in her bra. Cat checks, then realizes "that would never work".
- Burf spots Cat's hot dog in the punch bowl and shouts "wiener in the punch!" The partygoers look at him grossed out.
- Sinjin in a hula skirt and coconut bra.
- Robbie Sells Rex
Beck: He might like that.Andre: I'd like that. (Jade and Beck glare at him) I wouldn't like it.
- Robbie is repeatedly called a "doof bag". Do I have to say it?
- Cat's text transition screen showcasing her addiction to bibble, aka that cheese/caramel/whatever popcorn combo mentions that she'll "do anything for some bibble.....ANYTHING."
- Jade is trying to catch the flour bomber by walking through the school in an expensive and beautiful dress. She informs Andre and Beck that she's going to wrestle the flour bomber to the ground.
- Could count as a Call-Back to Jade Gets Crushed.
Rex: You were with another puppetRobbie: Yeah, but it was just for one night!Rex: Do you love him?Robbie: You mean Goonter?Rex: Don't say his name!Robbie: No! I was just...alone
- When Robbie gets Rex back, Rex won't look at him.
- Beck's comments about how the flour gets everywhere... everywhere.
- Tori getting into a slapping match with a Ten-year-old girl.
- The little girl egged Sikowitz's tummy, but she claims she was aiming lower. Judging by the gaping mouths of Tori and Sikowitz, we can assume she was aiming at his private area.
- How did Tori get Rex back from the Spoiled Brat? Simply find a girl about his age and get her to honeytrap him.
- The Bad Roommate
- The fact that Andre moves in to Tori's house and they both fight as if they are a couple filing for divorce is rather evident.
- Andre sticking Tori's phone down the front of his pants and Tori's face and "Eww" when she gets it back.
- Brain Squeezers
- Reportedly, the cast almost got fired filming this episode. That alone should tell you something right there.
- Really wish we could get more info on this. It would have to be that they would get fired since the creative team got in trouble, though someone higher up had to approve the script.
- And yet there's episodes here with twice as much? Come on, people, I think we can do better than this!
- This is hard to believe. I don't know that such a thing has happened in the history of television.
- "NO! I don't want to be Doinked, I'm not ready!", said by Cat. Sure, she's referring to the dangerous things done to them, but it does strongly remind you of another meaning...
- The way Jade says to Tori about the latter's Brain Squeezer's team "If you don't pick me, something realllly bad might happen to you" could be taken as a general threat or, knowing Jade's history, another way
- Reportedly, the cast almost got fired filming this episode. That alone should tell you something right there.
- The Slap Fight
Tori: I was supposed to meet Andre and Beck and Jade, Cat, and Robbie at 7:30 here to shoot our short film.Sinjin: Well, Robbie's in the janitor's closet.Tori: Why?Sinjin: Hey, I don't ask people why they're in closets.
- This exchange:
"Well, how the helicopter did your dang sister get so many followers?"
- Jade saying "Your socks and Violins!" in their short film sounds a lot like "sex and violence"
- The line Andre says in response to Tori saying she wanted more followers than Trina.
- Cat 'knows' that Robbie doesn't have butt pimples. When has she seen his butt?
- Star Spangled Tori
- Robbie repeatedly offering Jade "thigh cream" for her sore legs. I guess we should be grateful he didn't offer to apply it himself.
- And when Jade smears it all over Robbie's face, it looks...well...
- Tori mentioned that the St. Bernard that humiliated her on TV might have wanted her as his "girlfriend". That alone should give an idea what he tried to do.
- Robbie repeatedly offering Jade "thigh cream" for her sore legs. I guess we should be grateful he didn't offer to apply it himself.
- Victori-Yes
- The main plot's dare is that they have to say yes to pretty much everything. Every though Sikowitz specifically says they don't have to say yes to kissing, anything dangerous or illegal, that's still a planet's worth of radar material.
- Then there's the ending bit where Robbie and Cat have to give up their all-in-one clothes to muggers, actually calling attention to the fact that doing so would leave them in their underwear... which they do. We don't directly see anything risque, but they are hiding behind garbage cans, and it's quite clear they really meant only underwear (you can see Cat's bra straps). Robbie eventually offers to 'snuggle', and while Cat laughs, she says 'gross'.
- And worse, Cat and Robbie have to ride home in a small garbage can together. The only thing that would make it complete was sexual tension.
- Also during that scene, Cat's shoulders are mostly obscured (either by shadows or Robbie's arm). However, there's a brief moment when they're both going "Wheeeee!" that Robbie's arms lift... and while it's hard to see correctly, Cat's bra straps seem to be gone.
- Despite both scenes being brief, neither Cat nor Robbie actually seemed to mind seeing/being seen by each other in their underwear...
- Beck tells Tori that he plans to use the dare to trick Jade into doing something. Tori says "I don't think I want to hear the rest of this." (For the record, Beck was talking about getting Jade to go to a drag race with him, but it's clear by Tori reaction that she thought it was something else.)
- The main plot's dare is that they have to say yes to pretty much everything. Every though Sikowitz specifically says they don't have to say yes to kissing, anything dangerous or illegal, that's still a planet's worth of radar material.
- More evidence that Jade and Beck are doing more than kissing:Jade: Beck won't let me sharpen my fingernails into points. I swore I wouldn't claw him up... too much. What's his deal?
- And from Stuff Jade Hates #Blah:Jade: "...and not the good kind of disgusting."
- And in "Jade Hates Even More Stuff" video, Jade is wearing the same shirt Beck wears in the opening scenes of "The Wood." Given the above and the fact that Beck lives alone in an RV...
- And from Stuff Jade Hates #Blah:
- Cat occasionally brings cute boys up to her room for 'interviews'. It's really just her trying to seduce them.
- Could be a case of Is That What They're Calling It Now?, especially since she tells them she's having a 'party'.
- Tori and Robbie's drive-by acting exercise involve Robbie performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on a conscious Tori repeatedly. Sikowitz gets a total knack about the exercise. Robbie seems to enjoy himself and Tori ends up giving him a sneak Groin Attack before bailing out.
- Tori compliments Jade on her looks way more than is appropriate.
- There's a video where Robbie sings a song for his first love . . . a monkey.
- In the newest "Cat's Random Thoughts" video, she makes a hammock out of her bra. And then puts two tomatoes down for a nap in it. Also, she says, "Mr. Spock, you are so Vulcan weird."
- "Tori Takes Requests" Glue Hand video. Just listen to the audio as they peel off the glue. More Foe Yay?
- Not to mention if someone were to just see Tori's glue-covered hand Out-of-Context, no telling what they might think first.
- Trina, in an open letter, examines comments on one of her previous videos."Oh! Here's one! With the 'suggestion' for me to do a little something that's, uh... that's physically impossible. Reeeeeaaaally nice.""Oh! Look! Another comment just came in! It says 'Just listened to your song. Now my ears are bleeding. Thanks for making my ears bleed b-' ...A-and then it says something really... really very very rude. Thanks for the vicious cruelty!""And to the one person who wrote the sorta nice comment about me, which had nothing to do about my singing, thank you! ...But no, I won't!
- Trina's latest status puts her status as "Wazzed".
- Jade likes to watch Cat sweat when she eats.
- During the second Tweet Time with Cat, Cat is asked about important qualities in a boyfriend.Cat: "The most important qualities when you're picking a boyfriend are..." (starts giggling) "No, I can't say that... He should be really nice, and smart, and that's all that matters" (can't hold back laughter)
- Cat trying to juice a potato with her hands.
- The latest "Jade With Tots" ends with Jade interviewing Beck. They start making out, with Jade on Beck's lap. She turns off the camera, leaving the rest to our imagination ...
- Rex on what he hates about black Friday."Mall Santas. I don't wanna sit on some grown man's lap? Why not a cute lady elf? I'd sit on her lap."
- Robbie's most recent status:Robbie: Beck just let me hug him. What a wonderful holiday moment!Beck: I told you not to put that as your status.
- In the newest "Tori Takes Requests" video, she is shown to be taking a study break with Robbie and she explains the concept of her request videos to him. He leans in and whispers very seductively "I have a request..." in her ear.
- Thus followed by the request being whether one can play tennis indoors wearing a bikini. Tori wants to do a different request but Robbie is adamant that she has to do the top request. She decides to make Robbie wear the bikini instead.
- After Trina is knocked out by a ball, Tori and Robbie crawl away. We almost got a Panty Shot from Robbie as he crawls away. One also has to wonder why he had a bikini with him anyway.
- It's probably more likely that the bikini belongs to Trina or Tori, not Robbie.
- Thus followed by the request being whether one can play tennis indoors wearing a bikini. Tori wants to do a different request but Robbie is adamant that she has to do the top request. She decides to make Robbie wear the bikini instead.

Patient Center
Through education, Dr. Pakula helps to relieve pain and change thought patterns around injury. Her process is education driven, so you'll be informed every step of the way. You will never passively receive treatment, but rather, walk away with a better understanding of how pain operates and why a specific treatment is being employed.
Your first visit
Your condition will be holistically evaluated to identify the underlying cause of your problem and then Dr. Pakula will discuss the best course of action to provide a long-term solution.
First, your unique history surrounding your pain or injury is gathered helping to determine the root cause of your symptoms. Then, we will identify your specific goals.
During the physical examination, the primary and secondary areas causing distress are located by having you stretch, rotate and respond to pressure.
You will experience relief during the first visit as each treatment is highly customized to your needs. The area causing pain is targeted with applied touch, stretches and other techniques.
At the end of your session, your assessment will be reviewed and a personalized treatment plan will be prescribed. You will walk away feeling better and understanding your condition or injury.

Trappe, Pennsylvania, is celebrating its 300th anniversary in 2017. The festivities kicked off with a special celebration on Saturday, January 28, 2017.
The Borough was settled in 1717 and formally incorporated in 1896. The Borough is home to the oldest unchanged Lutheran Church building in continuous use in the United States, The Augustus Lutheran Church, as well as the homestead of Frederick Muhlenberg, signer of the Bill of Rights and first Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
Local historical attractions include:
Dewees Tavern: Originally built between 1740 and 1750, has served as a tavern, court, polling place, and stage coach stop. Now it grandly serves as the home of the Historical Society and interprets the history of Trappe, Collegeville, and the Perkiomen Valley. Inside you will find artifacts from archaeological excavations, a collection of locally woven coverlets and household items from the common to the unexpected.
The Muhlenberg House: Archaeologists found that a redware kiln had been on the property prior to the house being built about 1755. The kiln, one of the earliest known in this country, likely dates to around 1720. The house, originally built by John Schrack, has been faithfully restored to it's 1756 appearance. It is furnished to reflect the period of 1777 – 1786 when it was occupied by it's most famous resident, Henry Melchior Muhlenberg.
Today, Trappe Borough is home to over 3,500 people, according to the most recent Census. While primarily a bedroom community, Trappe possesses modest agricultural, industrial, and commercial uses. The Borough's main thoroughfare, West Main Street, boasts many retail and specialty shops which are reminiscent of the quaint country villages that once dotted the Pennsylvania landscape.
The historical society is currently coordinating preparations for the 2017 Trappe 300 Celebration. For more information regarding the Trappe 300 Celebration and how you can volunteer please click here.

University applications up by 2.8%
University applications are higher than last year, but have not recovered to levels before the hike in tuition fees, says the Ucas admissions service.
The application figures, up to the 15 January deadline, show an increase of 2.8% on last year for applicants from the UK for undergraduate courses.
An overall increase of 3.5% was boosted by a recovery in overseas students.
"This is an encouraging report, with no double-dip for applications," says Ucas chief Mary Curnock Cook.
There has been close attention paid to the university application figures to see the impact of the introduction of tuition fees.
Competing for students
Last year's intake - the first facing fees of up to £9,000 per year - went down sharply, but it remained uncertain whether this would be a temporary decline, before a return to an upward trend.
These latest figures suggest that the downward trend has stopped - but there are only limited signs of a return to a growth in applications.
"This modest improvement in applications is welcome but no-one should be under any illusions - this is not a bounce-back," said, Pam Tatlow, chief executive of the Million+ group.
Million, representing new universities, highlighted that these current figures remain below 2011 and 2010.
But universities, facing a more competitive market for students, will be relieved that the further declines suggested by figures from before Christmas seem to have been reversed. Applications had been running at a level 8% below last year.
There have been 559,000 applications so far - up by about 19,000 on last year.
There were differences in applications within the UK - there were increases of 7% in Northern Ireland, 3% in England, 2% in Scotland and a fall of 2% in Wales.
Below the surface of these averages there are further indications of volatility.
There are individual universities reporting substantial increases in applications.
The University of Surrey says applications have risen by 38% compared with last year - with particularly high demand for chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, biosciences, business, economics, English, law and politics.
But this suggests that applications will still be falling in other institutions.
There were thousands of empty places last year - and universities have said that as well as wanting to attract applications there have been challenges in getting applicants to take up places.
The market in places is going to become even more fluid this summer - with no limit on places to be offered to students with ABB grades at A-level or their equivalents.
The figures also show that despite widespread fears about overseas students being deterred by visa regulations, there has been an increase in almost 10% in applications from students outside the EU.
The Russell Group of leading universities welcomed the figures as a substantial improvement.
"This is the third highest number of applications of all time and there are still many more students applying for university than there are places available," said the group's director, Wendy Piatt.
"This is positive news and demonstrates that higher education is still an excellent investment," said Alex Bols, executive director of the 1994 Group of research intensive universities.
Andy Westwood, head of the Guild HE group of universities, "It is interesting to see that the additional 3.5% seems to be largely driven by 18 and 19 year olds despite the demographic dip in the overall cohort size."
But Sally Hunt, leader of the UCU lecturers' union, warned: "It would be a real shame if ministers tried to use today's minimal rise as vindication for their punitive polices, when a quick look behind the figures gives a much more worrying picture."
Liam Burns, president of the National Union of Students, said: "Despite positive signs that overall applications have begun to recover after a huge dip last year, there must be no complacency about the impact of the coalition's decision to shift the balance of higher education funding onto students."
Universities Minister David Willetts said the rise in applications showed the success of changes to higher education funding.
"There are no financial barriers to higher education. Our reforms ensure well-funded universities while avoiding large cuts to student places or in the money available for teaching," he said.

Q&A with a Simple Jew - Torah Lishma
A Simple Jew interviewed me for an article on his blog. You can read my response HERE on the topic of when my Torah learning is not Torah Lishma, which is Torah learning for its own sake. This type of learning is very lofty, and void of ulterior motives. Its a level I don't think I achieve often, but it will be interesting to see if people of different ideas of what Torah Lishma is, and if I have set to high of a standard for it.

Bringing youth back to Yiddishkite
How can we inspire Jewish youth to return to their roots? Whether they grew up without a Torah Education or if they did and are slipping away, how can we bring these kids closer to Torah and Hashem?
As a Baal Teshuva, I feel I know how to use myself as an example of why a Torah observant lifestyle is most beneficial in the short and long term. However, I don't believe that this would have the same positive effect on a FFB as it would on a future BT. This is a dilemma that I think Klal Yisroel has yet to overcome and that is keeping kids on the Derech. I see in communities I encounter a sad phenomenon especially with Baal Teshuvim. They are frum but their children don't seem to follow suit. Is it because as a BT we are not prepared to raise 4+ children and keep them frum? Do are inspirational reasons for why we came to Torah not ignite the souls of the 15 year old neshamas that want to dress less tznuis or don't want to make it to minyan anymore?
I'm not sure but this article focuses on something that bothers me greatly. Usually when something bothers you its because that aspect is a reflection of a part of you. This is what the BESHT says, and I have yet to have that not be the case. There is an organization that specializes in Kiruving back FFB's. Kids that went to dayschool or yeshiva and just aren't interested. I want the group to remain anonymous, because Chashve Shalom I should slander them and prevent them from their positive and holy mission of Kiruv.
What can you do to excite kids about Torah, and Yiddishkite in general when they already grew up and lost interest? The organization is throwing a Shabbaton for high school age students and of course there will be great Torah lectures and other ways to get these kids to connect, but what is the main attraction that will pull kids in and get them excited?
A Breakdancing competition with Hip hop music is the main event. Maybe not for the ones throwing it, but it will be for the ones attending. This idea really bothers me on many levels. For one prior to my return to Torah, I was very involved in the Hip Hop // Drum&Bass // Breakdance scene, which causes a level of resentment for what i feel is a waste of my life. To expose this to Jews to "get them interested in Torah" makes no sense to me. I am very much against this idea of engaging Jewish youth and making them excited about Yiddishkite by adapting Goyish music and culture and "making it Kosher". Maybe I am wrong, and this is OK, and I am just bitter because of my past experiences. I was told I am missing the bigger picture, which could be true. I just feel there are many other options to engage Jewish Youth without using Goy Culture that will pull them farther away from Torah than before.

Change We Can Believe In
I don't use my blog for political purpose and I don't plan to start today, still this historical election will be mentioned in my blog. Today is a historical day for America, regardless of what political party you fancy. I think that with that said Barack Obama should be congratulated and I hope that his change is real and something that all Americans can believe in. With that said I want to get to the point of this article.
Some people are really angry right now, and of course some people are the happiest they could ever be, "finally proud to be American again". My question is what has changed since yesterday that they are proud? He hasn't even taken office yet, but somehow things have changed. Not sure, but this article might be on its way to a political rant. Its not, rest assured there is a much bigger picture. In other news, the statement of the year by a frum Jew "YECHI NESIEINU ROSHEINU V'KOLEINU, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA L'ORECH YAMIM!!"
Everyday as a Jew, myself and many many others pray to Hashem. We daven, and learn his Torah, and do what it is we are commanded to do as Jews. At least this is what we try to do, some days working out better than other days. We learn from our Sages that Hashem controls every aspect of our lives and that although we do in fact have free choice, nothing happens that Hashem doesn't want to, and EVERYTHING is a blessing regardless of our understanding.
I often think about how Moshiach will come, how all the Jews unite, and how they will get to Eretz Yisroel. I see from history that Hashem hasn't worked an open miracle on our behalf since the splitting of the Red Sea. Hashem has however performed miracles for us on a daily basis since then and it tends to happen in the most natural of means.
A major element in this equation is the Nations. The Non Jews that have ruled and continue to rule us even in the modern state of Israel. I believe that Hashem has put into effect a method to bring Moshiach much quicker than we merit. Since our exile, the nations have been a major factor in remind us that we can only rely on Hashem and his Torah. Every nation we have settled in has turned on us, some taking longer than others. Am I trying to say that America is going to turn into a nation like Middle Age Europe or even worse Modern Europe? It might, but probably not in 4 years, or even 8. Still people only remember the end of the bad and not the beginning of it, the part when it starts to get bad slowly when no one notices.
Regardless of what happens to the Jews, good or bad, we must remember that its all from Hashem and that we must rely on Hashem and not Obama and America. We must also never forget Jerusalem because that is our gravest error. Whatever happens, Obama is a messenger from Hashem and if things do get bad G-d Forbid, know that Hashem is simply longing for our Teshuvah. I hope that things will change for the better and America can continue to be a good place for the Jews, and for everyone.

Celtic rings pretty much are derived from family heritage in Ireland. Pretty much when you're looking to get one of these. Look up your family heritage, look up the art work that you want to have done. These are couple examples of how you can actually do some art work. When it comes to stuff like that. Look up what you need for your family. Other than that, it's just going to go around your ring finger. Pretty easy to do, all and all.
Like it changes from location to location. So check with the artist. Have them do some research for you, as well. They can draw it up, do whatever they need to get done. So anything on that matter, go into your shop. Talk to your local artist. See what they can work out for you. Try and know your family heritage. Before you get any art work done. That's a little bit about celtic wedding band tattoo designs.
Birthstones For Wedding Rings
Precious and semi precious birthstones work well for wedding rings, especially the more popular stones, such as ruby, sapphire and tanzanite. Some traditional birthstones may not be suitable for an wedding ring, such as emeralds, which are too easily damaged for everyday wear.
However, there are substitute stones for nearly every month. Ideally, a stone used in an engagement ring should have a hardness rating of at least seven. Some brides prefer their own birthstone, while others would rather wear the birthstone of their intended.

Trevose (Championship) - Cornwall - England

On the north Cornwall coast lies the olde worlde fishing village of Padstow and Rick Stein's famous seafood restaurant. There's plenty of action going on in this neck of the woods, including offshore shark fishing. And, there's also plenty of excitement at Trevose Golf and Country Club, located a little further south, along the Atlantic coastline at Constantine Bay. With dramatic views across the golden sandy shore of Boobys Bay to the rugged coastline of Trevose Head, it's sheer drama.
Founded in 1926, the great Harry Colt designed the Championship course at Trevose, and Sir Guy Campbell made minor revisions just before the Second World War. It's an exhilarating windswept links where little else other than dune grasses survives in the bleakness.
Trevose is a stern test of golf, especially when the wind is up. There are four teeing areas to choose from, and the par 72 (73 for the ladies) links stretches out to a stern 7,172 yards from the back tees. The crumpled fairways are generous in width and the rough is kept short to keep up the speed of play and prevent too many lost balls.
Some regard Trevose as holiday golf, but the course is technically challenging and will test the very best golfers. The course record of 66 stands as a testament to its level of difficulty. Birdie opportunities are there for the taking on the three short par fives, but make the most of it because many of the par fours are aggressive and supremely challenging. Five of them stretch out over 400 yards.
The short holes are also memorable and exciting, especially the 3rd, measuring 166 yards and the 199-yard 11th, with its two-tiered plateau green. The photogenic par five 4th hole is renowned for its glorious greensite location, set hard against Boobys Bay, but many felt the hole failed to live up to its spectacular backdrop.
In 2016, as part of Mackenzie and Ebert's masterplan, the 4th was overhauled with new tees, bunkers and a massive new undulating green. The club is clearly not content to rest on its laurels. Seven holes have already been extensively reworked. In 2018 work on the 14th, 15th and 16th completed, which included bunker modifications, extensive green surrounds work and the opening up of bare sand areas to rejuvenate habit and add interest to this trio of rather dull holes.
Some excellent facilities accompany the testing Championship course and there's a very pleasant nine-hole course, designed by Peter Alliss, called the Headland. This shorter course is an nice warm-up ahead of Trevose's real Championship challenge.
Reviews for Trevose (Championship)
Unlike Perranporth the wildest aspect of Trevose is the drive to the clubhouse along the single lane roads that are often bordered by very high hedges. Meet a freight truck or two coming in the opposite direction and waking up at the wheel is the first thing that happens. If you are lucky you back up to the nearest turn out to let them by.
The course itself is much more straightforward and open. A recent renovation by Mackenzie and Ebert has Trevose in top shape. Bunkers have all been renovated and the most common attribute is the significant change in their style to the more modern natural blowout type bunkers. These look good in the dunes landscape.
On the front the par 3 third hole is a true standout played from a dune to a green nestled into the side of another and guarded by a large right front bunker. The par 4 6this their signature hole and the green on this hole has been moved back as far as possible to the corner of the beach and sea. The renovation looks excellent.
The front 9 is definitely the stronger of the two nines and has the most diverse and dynamic holes.
The back 9 plays over more subtle land and while it doesn't have a single weak hole there are also no significant stand outs, just solid golf with more gentle nuances. A fun and fair test which when played from the back tees with some wind can easily become a severe test.

Trevose- Prior to arrival at this magical place you have visions of big breaking waves crashing near your play. There are great views to this and great views to big dunesland….but they are just views. The adjacent property is of a grand scale. Trevose navigates thru a nice links land but sits in the shadows of the adjacent property. You feel like you are on a newer course, but know you are walking Harry Colt grounds. The course is very good. It is of championship caliber. The vast lands available also acknowledge that if they choose to they could stretch this course out for championship play. This is a must play in the area and a course which will attack your entire game.

Compared to its neighbouring links courses (West Cornwall through to St Enodoc) Trevose is a different kettle of fish. On much flatter land it's a classic case of what you see is what you get. There is no trickery, blindshots etc and there is plenty of opportunity to give the driver a nudge. The opening holes play close to some nice dunes but the rest of the course is quite flat.
It's difficult to compare to St Enodoc as they play so differently. Trevose is more of a championship design and I would imagine it would get more serious tournaments than St Enodoc .
The greens are large and smooth, fairways quite generous, rough dry and wispy and all up you should score well here if you get the benign conditions presented to me. The bunkers were interestingly placed. On still days I would imagine they trap the serious player from the blue markers but a decent player from whites, and especially yellows should be able to easily clear most of them. In windy conditions bunkers could be anywhere and be in business.
A very enjoyable round and comparable to somewhere like the New Course/Luffness New design wise but I can't say whether it's better than St Enodoc as it's an apple and Enodoc an orange. Warren from Aust

With the exception of Perranporth (which I last played eighteen months ago) I've replayed all of Cornwall's coastal courses in the last three months. I was especially keen to see Trevose again after the renovation work that's being undertaken by Tom Mackenzie.
Despite its Brabazon credentials and its gorgeous setting, I've never really warmed to Trevose. It's a long course that can be stretched to nearly 7,200 yards from the blue tees, but it has always felt like holiday golf.
Sadly the new raised green on the signature par five 4th hole was out of play last Thursday, it played to a temporary green. The new fourth green looks excellent and I'm sure it will cement this hole's place as the best on the Championship card.
The club is working hard with Natural England to clear the scrub from the dunes. The work in progress is to be commended but unfortunately there isn't quite enough duneland to go round the whole property.
The new irregularly shaped, rugged bunkering has improved the aesthetics on many holes, but to my eyes these new traps don't yet look completely at home. Hopefully in time they will settle into their surroundings. Currently there's a mix of revetted and rugged bunkering in play and the plan is to remove all revetted traps and return the course to its apparent former rugged look by 2019. It's seems a shame to lose the excellent revetted traps as their sharp lines suit my eye better in this relatively gentle landscape.
Something was required to breathe life into the flat and uninspiring holes on the backside (14-16). These are much better now with the new traps adding focal definition and strategy.
I'm still not a fan of Trevose, despite all the good work. Maybe once the programme has completed next year I'll warm to it. There's no quirk here, unlike Trevose's Cornish counterparts at St Enodoc, West Cornwall, Perranporth and Bude. It's hard to know what strategy the club is aiming at. Is it a championship layout or a holiday course? The club seems to be focusing on the latter rather than the former, but maybe I caught Trevose on a warm, benign, late spring day and I'd like it more in the wind.

I had the misfortune to time my trip to Trevose at the same time as the 'Beast From the East', which provided a brutal combination of high winds and low temperatures. Despite prevailing weather conditions, I greatly enjoyed 36 holes at Trevose.
The opening hole is a fantastic one, with penalising bunkers in play from the tee and bunkers obscuring the view of the green, a challenging and interesting first hole. The second follows in the same vein, another downhill tee shot providing brilliant views of the dunes and sea to the rear of the hole. I do leave disappointed that on my visit the 4th was out of play, as I would have loved to face the approach shot to a green framed brilliantly by the famous rocks and lashing waves (which had not put off many foolhardy surfers despite plummeting temperatures).
I do fear that my admiration for the golf course was at its highest during these first 4 holes, thanks in large part to the ocean views. The 5th played straight into wind and was a brute of a hole, and the 6th downwind less so. The 7th was another notable hole, which a very undulating green you do not want to find yourself the wrong side of.
Personally, the front 9 exceeds the back, largely perhaps due to the ongoing course renovations. But condition aside, the back 9 offers up less memorable holes. The pick of the back 9 for me being the par 3 11th, par 3 16th and par 4 16th.
Overall enjoyed Trevose greatly, greens were in fantastic condition given the time of year, as in large part were the fairways. Some terrific golf holes on the front 9, and a fair test of golf.

I played Trevose again last August and found it still a bit disappointing. The views from clubhouse are superb with some interesting holes on the front side, but there's nothing much to stick in the memory on the back side except for the last strong par five. Conditions were not great when I played here either. I feel It's overrated in relation to nearby Perrnporth.
I entered the Westlake Trophy at Trevose and arrived the afternoon prior and headed to the course to check out the practice facilities. The entire course is laid out below you from the elevated clubhouse but as it was shrouded in sheets of misty October drizzle, or "mizzle" as they call it here, I didn't really get a chance to appreciate the setting. What was appreciated was the super little range with its inventive targets and very useful small indoor putting green in the cosy foyer building.
In the dead calm of the next morning Trevose was waiting for me in all its glory. The colossal desert like sandy dune face behind the 2nd green and further beyond the ocean brushing against the iconic sea rocks and jagged cliff faces out by the 4th green were landmark features that strikingly seemed within touching distance of the clubhouse. The conditions remained virtually dead calm all day long, most unusual for any seaside location, with not even a one club breeze applying, in fact not even 2/3 yards of 'hurt' at any stage. In many ways a true test of a links layout is the challenge it presents on a calm day such as this and Trevose was demanding underlined by the average CSS of +3 per round reported for the Westlake Trophy 36-hole competition.
Playing two rounds in a day in a competitive environment is probably one of the best ways to experience a golf course you have never played, albeit playing off the back tees can sometimes take the fun out of it, depending obviously on your level. For me three of best holes on the course come very early, the 1st, 2nd and 4th, the only section of the course that is set amidst the high dunes. The 1st is a superb downhill par four that meanders its way through dunes punctuated by gaping bunkers and a downhill run to a green that slopes back towards the fairway. The par four 2nd continues the downhill trend with a fairway guarded by four bunkers and a magnificent approach played to a green protected by three more bunkers and overlooked by the huge imposing Sahara-esque sand face behind. Not to discount the 3rd, it is a solid par three played from on high across a valley to a green with trouble on all sides including three nasty pot bunkers, yet with an inviting bowl in the middle of the green that can be quite rewarding. The 4th is the signature hole at Trevose, a dogleg left par five played from a high tee down to an undulating fairway, guarded by bunkers and an approach towards the ocean and "Booby's Bay" beach. Most available photographs of this scene tend to capture the ocean at its wildest in the background, however it was dead calm when I was here.
The 5th and 6th take you to the northern half of the course (where the 12th, 13th, 15th and 16th are also routed), which is little bit less memorable, yet does present some strong holes. The bunkerless 5th is a tough dogleg left par four, the generous fairway offset by the long uphill approach to a stubbornly elevated green. The 6th offers some respite as a shortish par four with a big green. Then the 7th takes you back towards the low-lying section of the course closer to the larger dunes, another difficult par four with a long approach to an elevated green, one of a few holes on the course with a steep upslope before the putting surface. The relatively short par three 8th probably makes it into my top-five holes on the course, played over the valley of a burn to a green with three deep pot bunkers short and left and a steep grassy fall-off to the right. The front nine closes with a par five that offers two routes off the tee either side of three fairway bunkers and another steep rise to the green, this one steeper than most.
The 10th hole is another of my favourites, a par five with a downhill tee shot to an open fairway and a burn and three bunkers to negotiate en route to the green. The 11th is a tough par three that required a wood for me in both rounds from its highly elevated tee to a green also elevated with three bunkers to consider. The 12th is a long uphill par four towards the northern boundary of the course, with two grassy bunkers forcing you to think twice about cutting the corner and another large bunker short and left in the steady incline towards the green. The 13th is the last of the par fives, curving to the left from tee to green, the tee shot played slightly downhill and the second shot down again to an open flat fairway that sets up a tricky approach shot to a green with bunkers short, and with a hazard left and long to take into consideration. The green is in three sections and it is particularly hard to get close to the flag of it is in the back left corner.
The closing stretch begins with two short par fours, the 14th the shorter of the two and really only requiring a 240-250 yard tee-ball short of the four cross bunkers, which leaves just a wedge approach to relatively straight-forward green. Whilst the 15th doglegs slightly to the left, a tee shot bailed out right will still leave just a short-iron slightly uphill to a green that slopes from right to left, the back left pin position being the most dangerous given the slope off the left edge of the green. The 16th, like the 11th, is a 200+ yard par three that will frequently demand a well struck wood off the back tee to a green that has two grassy mounds in front of it, the main complication other than the sheer length of the hole.
The 17th is another of the top holes on the course, a demanding par four with a narrow fairway that must be found off the tee in order to ensure the good lie you need to be able to take on the green with your approach, as the burn (that also features on the 10th fairway) protects the front of the green and will gobble up anything half a club short. The 18th is a tough finisher, uphill all the way requiring two solid smacks off the back sticks to make the green, which has bunkers short on either side and O.B. long and left. The appeal of this hole is somewhat undermined by the road that crosses the fairway around 80 yards short of the green on which vehicles have right of way and tend to avail of this right without looking around to check if a golf ball is about to crack a windscreen.
Pick of the holes:
Par three – 8th
Par fours – 2nd & 17th
Par five – 4th

Trevose Golf & Country Club is a real darling of the South-West golfing tapestry. Its three courses, on-site accommodation and reputation for excellent catering make it a highly popular and desirable venue for golfers and their families flocking to this part of the country.
Each time I have visited there has always been a lovely feel and buzz to the place.
The main links, designed by Harry Colt, regularly ranks as one of the top golf courses in the British Isles and as the proud host of The Brabazon Trophy (2008), The McGregor Trophy (2012) and the English Men's County Finals (2017) Trevose enjoys a real championship status. A maximum yardage of 7,172 from the blue tees confirms the challenge.
All lies before you from the 1st tee with an expanse of small sandhills to the right, larger dunes to the left and the sight of the Atlantic Ocean in the distance; a truly breathtaking vista. You can also spot several flags fluttering nonchalantly away, many of them perched up high on the top of plateaus, and you just know that your creativity will be tested.
The greens are quite large and the fairways certainly generous although new bunkering on many of the holes has tightened up the drives significantly. The greens themselves ran beautifully in the early season and were a joy to putt on.
There are some real high points at Trevose which compare favourably to the very best of British links golf. The intimidating opening tee shot, the knob-to-knob par-three third and the iconic fourth hole, with white horse waves crashing behind the green, are early highlights. The seventh is also an exceptional golf hole with a green complex that is arguably the best on the course. Holes eight and nine complete a sterling outward half.
In keeping with most Colt designs the course is set out in two loops of nine holes. The front half hugs the sand dunes and coastline, offering some spectacular views out to sea, and covers the best of the golfing terrain at Trevose. Meanwhile the back side offers a different, but no less demanding, test of golf as you head more inland.

A good golf course rather than great golf course highlighted by the world class 4th hole. Holes 7 to 9 are very good. The scenery on holes 11 to 16 is ordinary as the terrain moves from the coast. However, the design of the holes is strong. The last 2 holes are excellent. I really enjoyed the round as Trevose is undoubtedly a really solid, honest test of golf.

Interesting to see the disparity of reviews here, I must say I err with the disappointed. It's one of those courses where the view from the clubhouse and its standout hole (4th) can overrule the blandness of many of the holes which in part tend towards a field with flags particularly around the turn. Constantine's Bay is a lovely place to play golf but if short for time for me I would recommend St Enodoc, Perranporth, Lelant (West Cornwall) or Mullion instead for a beautiful yet fun golf course. The 4th edges it up to a 4 ball.

After playing the wild and woolly links at Perranporth and the severe driving lines of St. Enodoc, Trevose is a nice breath of fresh air that gives you some room off the tee and numerous openings in front of the greens that allow you to play bump and run shots. The first is an excellent par 4 dominated by the dune to the right and the well placed fairway bunkers. Par would be an excellent start here. The par 3's were all well designed. The steep left to right slope of the third hole demanded a well placed iron, while the steep drop off to the right of the 8th with deep pot bunkers to the left made for a demanding tee shot. 11 and 16 were longer holes with severe sloping greens that would test a player of any caliber. I really enjoyed the par 4's on the back. 14 and 15 are beautiful back to back short par 4's that require a well placed drive but allow a multitude of options on the approach 18 is a demanding uphill par 4, 430 yards from the white tee and 478 from the blue. As with the first, par here is well earned.
I enjoyed this course. It was the last course I played on my trip to Devon and Cornwall and was a joy to play. My wife was with me on this trip and didn't play, but I think this course would suit most women golfers while offering men of all levels of play quite a challenge.
