My advice is to shoot first and ask questions later, Bun. No doubt about it.
If I were you, I'd trust it and run a .exe file with unknown origin in your
computer. Should things go "tits up" and your PC gets a dose of the ol'
digital clap, you can always say that it wasn't your fault, or something.
Go, Bun, go!

I suppose I could have said that too, Bun, instead of all that shit I
suggested, above. But the obvious answer was YES. As in answering the way I
did.

There's a first time for everything, Bun. Let's face it. You WANT to run it.
You won't rest until you do. Give in to your feelings, Bun!

Aw, shit, Bun - that's not the 2nd question at all. The 2nd question is -
why are you even * thinking* of trusting it and running a .exe file with
unknown origin in your computer? No - don't answer that.

Yes, Bun, I'd say it does. The "and" in your sentence, there, was totally
redundant. Apart from that, it was very good.

I like that bit, Bun. Lots of pathos. Nice.

That's true, Bun. Let's just say that computers AND rare musical files are
equally important. Yes.
