1. You and Jesus go out to dinner - who pays?

We split the bill, unless the son of god is a little short this week.

2. You suddenly have to flee the country and adopt a new name..what would it be?

I'd go to Australia, but I'd claim to be an American expatriot named "Bubba Bo Bob Brain"

3. Pick one state in the U.S. to get rid of permanently?

What do we mean by "get rid of permanently"? If we mean secede from the United States to become its own country, then Cascadia (roughly northern California, Oregon and western Washington). Yes, I'm well aware that's not technically a state.

If we mean obliterate, then Alabama, with Texas as first runner up.

The first constructive thing (as opposed to the freaking out, which would be the very first thing) I'd do is buy $200 worth of sex toys and find out how the plumbing works.

Han Solo, who was a bad ass and shot first.

Action figures for whatever SF was big at the time. Trek maybe or Space: 1999.

Sea Urchin sushi. Let's just say it tasted like you vomited into your own mouth - which triggers an unfortunate feedback loop.
