I'm a Texan, but how much?

'I'm from Texas, What Country are you from?'

I saw that quote on a T-shirt the other day.

I love Texas, there is no state like it (no, how dare you say I'm biased!), but I wonder how much of a Texan I am sometimes.
You see, I say Ya'll (actually, I find it hard to come up with an alternative phrase) quite frequently, and every now and then you hear Yonder come from my lips, but I don't ever say Twiced (twice) or Onced (once), and I only say Concreke (concrete, for those of you in Rio Lindo) sarcastically (sarcasm? me?). Also, I'm quite used to 100+ degree Summers in Texas - as long as I'm in the air conditioning, but I can't hardly stand talking about the weather, 'Is eet hawt enuff fer ya, son?', how in the name of Robert E. Lee (GOD rest his soul) am I supposed to respond to that? If the person that asked me that wasn't 305 years old, I'd have said, 'Do I have a choice? Why, you idiot, does it matter if it's hot enough for me, WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?'. I guess that's a problem, to be a Texan that doesn't like 'small talk'.

Well, I don't remember if I had a point when I started this post, so, I guess I'm done for now.

If yer ever in the neighborhood, Ya'll come site a spell in Texas, you won't regret it (well, maybe if you come in august when it's 80,000 degrees, and you feel like one giant mosquito bite).
