Simple question, you or me?

Good luck.

Is you me and me you or the other way around: me I and you you?  :-\

Are you talkin to me? Or you?

I celebrate myself
And what I assume you shall assume
for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you



Therefore, your question is no longer valid and does not deserve a reply beyond this clarification.
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

The only thing better than a single banana:  A bunch of bananas

Hold on there. When you say 'me', you really mean you. And if that is true, me and someone else are the same person. It also means you have been me all along. So really you=me=someone else. I think you are bananas to make such a poll. So all those people are bananas and all those bananas (poor bananas) are you=me=someone else. So we have a poll with five synonyms.  :-*  :P  :)

As Eugene Ormandy would say: "Couldn't have made that point clearer myself!" (.. and "Pay no attention to what I say, but do pay attention to what I mean!")

Dazzling flashes of incontrovertible logic of this sort give me shivers up and down the spine. Suddenly, the World seems so ... clear.

As the resident Guardian of Grammar I must commend GS Moeller for avoiding the possibility that one could vote for both you and I  :o   :o  (and if that sounds correct, dear Reader, YOU are in need of a pronoun intervention).

I can vote for "me" of course, but I cannot vote for "I."

You, however, can vote for "you."

Ich wähle mich.  Sie dürfen es nicht!   ;D

Ah, but you have forgotten the most well known theory of something or other, which clearly states, in no uncertain terms (except where it pleases the reader or when it is convenient) that I am what I eat. Now I know we all eat bananas in this forum, and thus we are all bananas (bonkers even), therefore I=banana. And as I so robustly and dizzily explained above in frightening detail (thanks to Elgarian and others for so appreciating my work - an artiste never forgets :)), a vote for banana is a vote for me and you and someone else (and vice versa) and I as well. So as you can see, a vote for any of the above is a vote for I! SO indeed, one can vote for you and I!

WOW!  I guess I was wrong!  It looks like the eyes have it!   :o

As it stands, me will form a minority government, having received but a plurality of votes. You will surely not support me on key issues, so it's looking like bananas are needed for a coalition to form. A bunch of bananas would support me even more securely.

Me is not voting. So who is rigging the poll?!
