Staffordshire.

We live in a shire ( like the hobbits ).

The main town in the shire is Stafford.

I have a Staffordshire Terrier.

My state is Out There.

Texas- The Lone star State. The motto here is "Don't mess with Texas".

Thats cool I want our state to have a motto "Don't stand under our tree or a nut will hit you on the head" Just not the same affect as "don't mess with Texas"

Maryland nicknames are the Old Line State and the Freedom State (think Civil War).

The state motto is in Italian "fatti maschii, parole femine." = Manly deeds, womanly words. They changed it about 10 years ago to translate to the more PC: strong deeds, gentle words

Ontario has a few nicknames out here...but I cant list them on a public web-site!
(--Just kidding around Brazoo!)

People in Alberta hate Ontario? Oh well.

Provincial and Territorial Trivia

---Lists Alberta as "the sunshine province"? I've lived here all my life and have NEVER heard it called that!? Alberta used to be known as "Wild Rose Country" at least according to the license plates. It has also been called "Flatland" by some Eastern friends of mine...who obviously never saw the North or West sides of the province. The way its grown in the last few years it should be called "the place where everybody here is from somewhere else"!!

I've never heard that nickname either - actually none of those province nicknames seem familiar to me at all except for "Land of the Midnight Sun". If I heard someone say "I'm heading out to the Loyalist Province" I'd think they were insane. Interesting site though.

I've heard Alberta called The Sunshine Province because Alberta, on average, has the most hours of sunny days, per year, out of all the Provinces.

It's connected to the old saying "You don't like the weather here? Stick around: it'll change in 5 minutes."

Wild Rose Province is another.

Lately it's "Those Pin-Head Albertans with their Dirty Oil!" Of course, this is said by those in their homes heated and lit by Alberta fossil fuels.

Sharry already said California is known as The Golden State.

San Francisco is known as the City by the Bay.

Oakland simply as Oaktown.

Haha Beaver (wasn't going to let that one slip by).

Yet another reason I love Oregon.

[Rallygirl]

Michigan is known as The Great Lakes State, The Wolverine State or The Automotive State. However automotive plants are now even more rare than the elusive wolverine. Personally, I vote for changing it to The Bankrupt, Sinking-Ship State or Canada's Landfill State.
