I'm more of a Yankee than you are

Whilst out with SHG the other night at the entertaining-yet-tragic drag deal, between the S&M act and the tortilla incident, this chatty guy (really, quite annoying with his encyclopedic knowledge of the TX-drag scene) made some kind of comment to me that "yea, but I'M a Yankee"...

Me: Cool, so am I.
Him: Well I'm more Yankee than you, where are you from?

Excuse me? Do I have a Yankee rating on my forehead? 7 out of 10?

Me: From NYC, high school in NJ, folks live in NJ, school in PA and NJ.
Him: I'm definitely more of a Yankee than you.

OK, at this point, I cannot resist this I'm-more-of-a-Yankee-than-you-are pissing contest: He will only win if he is from BOSTON, so I decide to yank his chain.

Me: Oh, where in NY are you from? Did you just move here?
Him: Nope.
Me: Connecticut? (SHG starts laughing)
Him: Nope.
Me: What, Nova Scotia?
Him: No, Left Coast.
Me (here we go on the condescending): Oh, Northern California?
Him: Farther North.
Me: What, Seattle?
Him: Farther North.
Me: Ugly Vancouver?
Him: No, Alaska.
Me: Oh you're not a Yankee, give it up.
Him: No, it's up North, I'm a Yankee and more so than you.
Me: You know, those big square states have the same delusion of being Yankees. If you're not due North of the Mason Dixon Line, you're NOT a Yankee. Period.

That pretty much shut him up and he went away for a while.
