Rudolf the red nose reindeer, in Japanese. Awesome. Though I don't think there's a mp3 link sad

http://japanese.about.com/library/weekly/aa121600.htm

Anyone have anything in a similar vein? (Commercial Christmas that is, I could do with out all the Jesus stuff, I get enough of that here in, surprisingly Orthodox Christian, Singapore. Unless you really can't help yourself.)

(Yes I know Japanese christmas is all about Christmas Eve Strawberry Cake and couple-time, but that doesn't mean our learning can't be spiced up with something tangibly related to the current season festivities.)

*Totally unrelated but if you use firefox*:
type "about:config" in a free tab
click the button
in the filter box type 'backspace'
change the number to 2

-> Now backspace will never ever go back to the last page. So if you're mid-post, and want to erase a word, but you don't have focus on the textbox, then firefox will not go back and erase everything you've written. This is especially annoying when you've spent a lot of time creating a Japanese language post, just to press backspace and watch disappear into the void.

I found backspace ridiculous and disabled it long ago...

I think alt-left is good enough, and there's very little chance it'll get misused.

I thought someone might say that...

Maybe one day you'll manage to turn your life around and get back on the straight and narrow.

This is the only site I've ever encountered where the contents of the white box are erased when you hit the BACK button.

It also happens on AJATT comments, I think.

To be honest, I've actually never had a problem accidentally going back. Maybe I should change now that someone mentioned the danger lurking on the RTK forums...

I didn't know you could do that, wow.
