This is the best I could do yesterday. Sorry for Oklahomans, Missourians, and people from all those states, commonwealths, and districts of columbias that I couldn't remember.
(And sorry for calling "States" Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.)

I'm a PA and VA girl and I don't mind; they are states, just not their official titles. :) Just glad you remembered both of them.
Actually I think you got a heck of a lot more than I would have. Maybe I'll quiz myself next staff meeting when I'm bored. Great idea!
If you get around to one particular New England state, it has a very long official name. Longest of all of them, in fact. :)

I didn't know if you were adding to the list later or not, so I didn't want to mention the certain state. (But I will, if you prefer!)
It is a state (not a commonwealth), but its official name is much longer than the name people usually call it.

Hee hee! I can't add new states now, since I can read all of them on my breakfast tablecloth...

I concur--I think you probably came up with far more than most people would have! Great memory exercise, too. :-)

Okay, then, it's Rhode Island. :) "The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations."

I love that name. It's almost worth moving to Rhode Island, but the name takes up all the extra space there.

Did you hear Rhode Island is suffering extensive flooding?
Someone there let a pot boil over on the stove.

Believe me, I wasn't throwing asparaguses. My sincere respect for Rhode Island.
