There Is An “A” In steAmer

Some people may confuse “Steamer” and “Stomper” so let’s clarify off the top. One is a statistical projection system and the other is rather silly looking elephant. I will leave it to you to google as needed to figure out which is which.

Today we are talking about Steamer. If Steamer is known for one thing it’s being generally conservative. Steamer doesn’t wake up in the morning to predict someone is going to be utterly terrible, nor does Steamer wake up in the morning to predict someone is going to take off and exceed all expectations.

OK it’s a bit of a trick because it’s also true that Steamer doesn’t wake up in the morning, period, owing to the fact that unlike a human, or even an elephant, Steamer is not a living being.
