    Put it this way, Cyclefree and myself would have a field day with this.


    Yourself should learn to refer to yourself with a reflexive pronoun for yourself when it's appropriate for yourself

    Otherwise yourself sounds like a moron
    Cyclefree and I

    Years ago, I leaned this simple trick for pronoun problems like: "Put it this way, Cyclefree and myself would have a field day with this."

    Shorten it by cutting it, as follows: "Put it this way, myself would have a field day with this."

    If that sounds right to you, you're right (probably). If not, correct the pronoun.

    (Cognitive psychologists and/or linguists may be able to explain why that works.)
