Ok, that's fine. As long as a Windows crash didn't damage the partition

we go out there and kick a little demon ass! What, can't go
without your Buffy, is that it? Let's find her! She is the chosen

them, for justice, and for... the safety of puppies... and
Christmas, right? Let's fight that evil! Let's kill something!
Oh, come on!
