Chris Kirkpatrick says: I bid on a slot machine, and got Joey the arcade game Superman.

Digital Dish Diva says: NsYnCsdabomb Says: Hi Chris! I was wondering if you ever get nervous at a show.
Chris Kirkpatrick says: I get nervous at award shows when we're performing because we only have a couple of days to rehearse. When we did the Billboard awards we had a lot of props and I was glad none of them backfired on us.
Digital Dish Diva says: VanWhoa says: Hey Chris, I love all the FuMan clothes. They're awesome. Will FuMan have a runway show? And when would the men's line be out?

Digital Dish Diva says: HottBabe013181 Asks: Hey Chris, I was wondering if you do any rituals before concerts other than the hackey sac?

Digital Dish Diva says: o0oBabyGirlo0o Asks: Hey Chris! I was just wondering if you had an email address where fans can write to you?

Digital Dish Diva says: luckyweave Says: I know you have the flame tattoo on your ankle. Do you have any others?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: Yeah, I have a dragon up my calf.
Digital Dish Diva says: Swinkie007 Asks: You were on "Touched by and Angel" with Charlotte Church, what do you think of her?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: She is the sweetest girl in the world and when she sings it's amazing to see that voice come out of that little girl.
Digital Dish Diva says: deprivedrage Asks: Hi Chris, I was wondering has being famous changed you for the better or worse?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: I don't think it's changed me at all. Danielle says: He's very down to Earth.
Chris Kirkpatrick says: I still have the same values, Just now more people pay attention to me.
Digital Dish Diva says: Raches Says: What is your best childhood memory?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: That it's over (laughs)

Digital Dish Diva says: NSYNCRULES says: What's the first big thing you bought when you made it big?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: Turntable. I bought a set of turntables and practiced on them. Now I have a house, that's a huge thing.

Digital Dish Diva says: minnielucy Says: Chris, I know that you traveled most of the world, have you ever traveled to Alaska?
Digital Dish Diva says: What is your favorite place you've been to?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: I haven't been to Alaska yet, but I'd love to go because I have a good friend Scott Gomez that lives in Alaska. I think my favorite place is Africa that I've visited.
Chris Kirkpatrick says: You know, we went to Japan, and we ordered sushi and we went to a Kobe place and when they splashed the shrimp with lemon, it blinked!
Digital Dish Diva says: SevereBarbecue Asks: Do you find it sometimes difficult to sing your best and dance at the same time?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: Sometimes you get really worn out. Toward the end when we have four fast songs in the row, by the 4th I'm OUT of breath.
Digital Dish Diva says: You guys put on amazing shows.
Chris Kirkpatrick says: We did a show at Texas stadium in Dallas and our bass player passed out because it was so hot.
Digital Dish Diva says: cakata1 Says: What is the one question no one has ever asked that you wish they would? And what is the answer?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: I guess the one question is what's Busta's favorite food to eat.
Chris Kirkpatrick says: Butterfinger candybars.
Chris Kirkpatrick says: When we went on tour he would just eat the whole candybar.
Chris Kirkpatrick says: He's the best dog! When I'm home, he sits with me the whole time. Danielle says: Then he leaves and Busta poops everywhere. (laughs)
Digital Dish Diva says: OklahomaGurlAshley Asks: Hiya Chris! What is the most exciting thing that you have done that you probably wouldn't have had the opportunity if you were not famous?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: One of the most exciting things, I went to the Monday Night Football game last night and last year I got to go to the Super Bowl and sit on the sidelines. That meant a lot to me. Also meeting famous people, when a musician comes up to us and says they like our music, that means a lot.
Digital Dish Diva says: Chris, the last question tonight is from Aliya who says: What is your most treasured item?
Chris Kirkpatrick says: I don't know, I have a lot of really cool things. I like my music room because I have a lot of cool equipment. My picture of The Beatles. I got to meet Paul McCartney and I almost cried that was a highlight.
Digital Dish Diva says: Chris, thanks for joining us tonight on MSN Live! Best of luck with FuMan Skeeto! Merry Christmas and Happiest of New Year's from all of your fans and friends here on MSN.com!
Chris Kirkpatrick says: Have a happy FuHoliday! I hope everyone enjoys the site and enjoys what the site represents. Thanks for supporting *NSYNC and making such a great year.
