Well, now you've pissed off the bastard. His name is spelt with one 'l'.
Anyhow, I disagree. Personal, ehrm, "research" on the Saikyou line
has revealed that, despite inability to freely, um, "express" one's
current, er, "emotional state," one can, though, uh, "appropriate
spatial and temporal positioning," acquire, ehhm, "stimulus," not
otherwise available at home.

Philip! Philip! Anyway, don't forget his collection of jazz, as well.
Anyway, I shall be charitable and attribute the misspelling to your
upbringing. After all, we all know what your mum and dad do to
you...
