Babi Salvii: I waz woundering iF U can give mi somethin 4 my B-day????? I Love U!!!!!

Chingo Bling: Dear fans, I cannot give things to everybody because then I'll be broke and then my rooster will be very skinny. And you don't want Cleto to be skinny do you? There's a thing called Home Depot. Go in front of Home Depot...and get a job, make you some monies...and then I'll help you out. (Laughter.) Shout outs to Home Depot man, largest employer in Texas.

Ana: Why do u wear boots with shorts? i think thats really HOTT!!!

Chingo Bling: This is why I'm hot. Boots with shorts. Por favor believe it. I like it because, you know, you could be different, creative...and, uh, you know, there's an abundance of alligators in your neighborhoods sneaking into swimming pools...two birds, one stone – fly and flashy.

Sandra: What has been your most craziest/funny experience with a fan?

Chingo Bling: (Laughter.) This is PG-13...Oh man...OK, ready, here's one. Selling my CDs at the pulga – this goes back to the 2nd question about free stuff. Sellin' my CDs at the pulga, make some monies...and you have a fan that comes up and says, "Hey, can I have your $700 shades? Because next week's my birthday." And I say, "OK, I'll give em to you, but you gotta wait 'til I'm done taking my pictures at the flea market." "Well, my ride's here, I kind of need 'em now, and, uh, can you hurry, please?" So...fans, please, I'll give you stuff – but don't rush me. Thank you. (Laughter.)

bbgirl: cuantos años tenias cuando empesaste tu carrera?

Chingo Bling: Everybody knows this one. I been in the business for 35 years, but I'm only 18 years old.

ALE: why are you so weard? and why are you so hot?

Chingo Bling: Uhh...man, weird and hot. Thanks, I think. Why I'm so weird and hot. Because the cowboy hat traps in the heat and it makes me look sexy to the mañosas.

Chingo Bling: Ahí viene la Migra!
