TIME: Around 11:00 pm.
PLACE: Darkened room upstairs.
THE PLAYERS: Me and Wifey. (Or is that Wifey and I?)
SCENARIO: I started clowning around about something.
CONVERSATION THAT FOLLOWED:
WIFEY: "I'm not in the mood for your clowning!"
ME: "Okay."

(Wifey was hiding beside the bureau when she told me that)

Wifey and me.
You were also with Wifey?
Depends on what the meaning of "with" is.
Wifey and I.
(I was clowning...Wifey and I were clowning. Not me was clowning, me and wifey were clowning.)
That last anon comment was by someone who's clearly a genius.
I beg to disagree. The players were Wifey and me. Or the player is me. You would never say the player is I.
Sorry, I am clearly the genius in this case.
Me refuse your beg.
Trees is made into lumber.
Lumber are made into bureaus
Pussy is hiding beside tree.
IANO is rude calling pussy Wifey.
Wifey sure is furry with sharp teeth looking hungry.
Anonymouse go hide somewhere else.
Dear EB:
The line was "The players (were) wifey and _____."
According to your rules, if I take out wifey, it would go like this: "the player was I."
I still like "the player was me," better.
But, whatevah.... I ain't gonna fight no more.
Well, at least you put the punctuation inside the quotation marks like they should be...maybe there's hope for you.
There's definitely hope for I. It's you me's worried about.
Okay, that's it; I'm gonna go comma-tose if I don't split from this conversation right now-n. Full stop. Period. I'm pretty sure I hear my coffee colon, anyways, so I should, emm, dash away and get my breakfast. It's been lovely debating you, even if you are a serial grammar offender, Grasshopper. May your language always be active and your participles forever undangled!
“I” is a nominative pronoun and is used as a subject of a sentence or clause, while “me” is an objective pronoun and used as an object. In this case the players were wifey and me- the player is the object being described.
If the pronoun was nominative, the statement would be I am the player. The player is naming himself.
Trust me on this- I'm an expert. Or, at least I play one on TV.
