I was trying to research possible error cards in a set I have. Different ways of googling brought me different answers, none to which answered my question. My last search actually brought up "Dixxy's collection" on the first Google page... anyone else have this happen? or am I the only one who is amused thoroughly by this?!

All the times I have used Google or Bing, I have never had "Dixxy's collection" pop up. I have to admit that usually use Bing and not Google. I am thoroughly amused that this amuses you. Thanks.

I just Bing searched for Dixxy's Collection and got a collection of Dizzy Gillespie records. I'm thoroughly amused that Dizzy Gillespie is amused by this.

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

and googled. He's the guy my music teacher showed as a demonstration of what NOT to do when you play the trumpet. Puffing out your cheeks wears you out faster, reduces air control, blah blah blah, no wonder they called him "Dizzy..."

Apparently it worked enough for him to become a cultural icon during his days and beyond. Music was just as much about the show as it was about the sound.

Haven't tried doing a search for errors for my collection. I usually only Google (I don't like Bing) when reading the forums to try to hel others find out if their cards are unique or not.
That "yourname" game sounds similar to the "dot com rulette" where you just randomly type a url name to see what you get. I never tried that, but I can imagine that both games could come up with some eye opening things...Oh looks like that did happen when you showed your sister. Never mind.
