Dedicated to +Mz Maau and +Keith Cramer, whose tireless efforts to eradicate Cooties from G+ is an inspiration to us all! Not a day goes by that I don't look at the Cootie ravaged populace around me and point and laugh thank my lucky stars and blue moons for Mz's and Keith's selflessness. Some say that they actually engineered the virus themselves in a secret Canadian lab to reap the benefits of their upcoming book, "The Cootie Sutra". To that, I say, "Balderdash!" I looked that up and learned it maybe came from the Medieval Latin word balductum.Well, that just makes me giggle! Can you imagine a bunch of irate guys in togas running around yelling, "Balductum!" Ah, but I digress. Cooties is a very serious subject, and this video has absolutely nothing to do with promoting tie-in books; and especially not my own forthcoming title, "51 Shades of Cooties". Balductum! 😉
Special thanks to +Kristi Fahlsing for allowing her inoculation to be video taped.

Is self-cootieing a sin?
Weird. The video posted on the stream once I uploaded it to YouTube and before I actually posted. Not helpful, Google!
+Jim Gomes commented before I removed it:
Wait… you can't give a girl a cootie shot! Now it's going to transmute and turn into Super Cooties!
Wait… you can't give a girl a cootie shot! Now it's going to transmute and turn into Super Cooties!
I think the Cootie Fever is giving me Deja Jim!
I'm very impressed with your circles!
Is there an echo in here?
+Yoon-Mi Kim You and +Allen Simpson both mentioned that! I pay a lot of attention to umm… symmetry. 😉
Is there an echo in here?
I meant to post this here.
First off +Scott Cramer those are really symmetrical circles and +10 for the army of darkness reference.
But I seem to remember only 2 dots from back in my day it was simply
Circle, circle, dot, dot. Now you've got your cooties shot.
If you break it down into syllables my way makes even more sense as it is 7 syllables for the first sentence and 7 in the second (iambic)
With three DOTS the sing songyness is lost.
Plus here is more back up for my case in the form of a music video staring Lego mini-figs
Circle Circle Dot Dot – Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone – Lego Animation
Ohhh you said cooties. Never mind.
+Doug Savage Forgot to plus you! Hey, how about a geek week with Savage Chickens as our favorite (non Star Wars/Trek LotR) characters? AoD, Firefly, 5th Element…
+Scott Cramer Did you practise drawing circles?… that's pretty impressive freehand.
+Yoon-Mi Kim Nope; especially not on flesh while holding a cell phone cam. Lol
<3
(+Scott Cramer is so infected, he can't think straight.)
As long as you can convince yourself that you said the words, that is all that matters.
Haha. +Mz Maau if you only knew how "infected" +Scott Cramer is!
Hey +Scott Cramer what's your arm look like today??
Heh… will post later… lol
+Kristi Fahlsing: Spray shimmer on him while he's not looking. He needs additional infection.
–How are you doing today and how is the weather,my name is Rebecca and nice meeting you?
Oddly familiar.
I just joined,want to make new friends tell do you care a chat..
Hi +Rebecca Love!
Nice to make your acquaintance.
I'm a shark.
RAWR!!!
I'll be sure to break out the popcorn when I wake up.
+Fluffy McSharkah Khan Nice name and nice meeting you Shark..do you mind a chat on instant messenger…
+Rebecca Love – here we have an audience of my food subjects friends. What can you say in a private chat you can't say here?
Careful, +Fluffy McSharkah Khan, you'll find yourself in a bathtub full of ice, and without your fin!
+Scott Cramer, if anyone try to touch my fin it'll be them in the bathtub.
+Rebecca Love in the bathtub? I think it's not that kind of thread. Lol
Is this an example of the bots people keep mentioning?
+Mz Maau – perhaps. Using a pornographic actress' name, having weird capitalization, and pushing for private chat all seem very suspicious.
Suspicious yes, but cannot tell if human or software driven. Need more input, a wider data sample.
Heh… that's what she said…
It might be a real person, not the one pictured but, a real person using translation software. That would explain the odd sentence structure.
Very true.
+Allen Simpson – that makes a lot of sense. That also explains why "shark" was misunderstood as Fluffy's name.
Maybe this is that Nigerian price that is always trying to smuggle money out if the country using the disguise of +Rebecca Love so he can find someone to trust with his funds
+Allen Simpson ftw!
What the hell is going on here…who do you think you are
who are you..Allen Simpson
Im just a real person engaging in a conversation about a troll trying to lure people into a private chat with broken ass english.
Good…then stay away from me…
+Mz Maau im guessing human I don't think bots get pissed off like this ^
I see! Very elucidating, +Allen Simpson!
Though, the emotional response could also be programmed in, ne?
Its possible. The outrage is very realistic congrats to her programmers.
go to hell punk..
Wow, such strong language!
go to hell
The simple answer, +Rebecca Love, would be to not try to talk people into private chat sessions when you've just met them.
And I'm afraid Hell won't take me, so you're quite out of luck there.
Then tell them to stop embarrassing me in private chat
I would appreciate it, +Rebecca Love, if you are going to continue chatting on this post, that you start making sensical commentary.
cool..
+Allen Simpson, I'm calling ELIZA on this one.
This is fun!
Your turn, sir, I'z tahred.
This is fantastic. Anyone notice sometimes +Rebecca Love writes things that may be considered lucid and then kicks into making no sense at all. Maybe its a mix of bot and some sort of monitor person that steps in from time to time and those are the lucid moments. All I want to know is when I need to give "her" my account information so I can get those Nigerian millions.
So, perhaps a touch of Internet Oracle, then?
Im thinking more like ELIZA (or Freud on the apple IIe) but the person drawing you into chat may step in when she is being called out its kinda like robot dialers there is a bank of real people but they call 10 times more numbers than operators then take the first sucker they can get to stay on the line.
Hmmm… So if we tag each time, it might become interesting?
Perhaps whoever is operating +Rebecca Love -bot will step in to say something using human sentence structure.
I'm sorry, +Allen Simpson, I'm afraid I can't do that…
Bot or not, +Rebecca Love, please be civil or you will be blocked. Parse comment if(incomment("block")) $actcivil=1;
