"...as you and I am" versus "...as you and I are"

Which is the correct usage to end the following sentence?

[person] is not as [adjective] as you and I [am/are].

_{I'd also like to see some good fill-in-the-blanks.}

Solution 1:

Personally, being a fan of brevity, I'd go with door number three: neither.

Eeyore isn't as fun as you and I.

In a pinch though, you'd certainly need the plural verb:

Winnie the Pooh isn't as tall as you and I are.

The "and" makes "you" and "I" a group of two people, so the plural has to be used.

Are, but we are would be much more likely.
