@Mitch What's it with the cats always eating people? My cat liked to critically injure lizards; maybe they survived, maybe they didn't. He just liked to watch that part, the suffering... Cats.
Dolphins are cool...with Anheuser-Busch. I miss SeaWorld.

There's a lot of discussion about the use of nominative or accusative pronouns as predicative complements of the verb be in order to sound more natural or prescriptively "correct". But what do you think about the above example? Wouldn't we, as the subject of be, be unnatural and "correct" at the same time?
 
yes, it's unnatural, I think, because we is usually inclusive of you
 
What about us?
 
in terms of the specific sentence, I think it would normally be "yours and ours"
us is wrong
 
Okay. So it's not the same discussion.
 
I could be wrong, but yeah, I would say it's different
