I know many bloggers find inspiration in their spam filter but this is the first time I’ve decided to share a comment that I received:
crocodiles are creatures are habit and will look to see if you are, too.
This comment got me thinking. Here are some of the questions I asked myself.
- How would crocodiles size me up? Would I appear to be a creature of habit? If I am, what would give me away?
- Also, is the commenter warning me? Do crocodiles observe their prey, looking for patterns so that they know when to strike? Are we talking about literal crocodiles or is this a metaphor? If so, who are the crocodiles?
Are you a creature of habit? Are you a crocodile?
that cynking feeling 
I always wonder what spammers get by leaving weird comments. Why not try to leave a more realistic-sounding comment? I am definitely a creature of habit, though I don’t feel very crocodile-like.

It seems if the comments aren’t weird then they are the ones that are obvious flattery. I can see the advantage of those. Of course, people want to click on the link of someone who says how great their site is.

I don’t think I’m a crocodile (or crocodile “like”) but yes, very much so driven by habit/s. 🙂

I don’t think anyone wants to be likened to a crocodile.

LOL! Love that this was inspired by spam. Yes, I am a creature of habit, but never thought of crocodiles being our mascots. 🙂

Now I’m picturing a crocodile holding pom-poms in its short legs.

Yes, I’m a creature of habit, though not above all else. And yes, crocodiles (especially those of the two-legged non-leathery variety) look to prey on us. Or at least, they know exactly when to strike. Ouch.

The spam comment was so weirdly profound. It makes you wonder whether habits are good or bad.
