In the spirit of the classic boy game of "Ginger or Mary Ann," The Mistress offers her own choice game: Kirk or Spock?
Now, while I was technically alive during the first broadcast run of Star Trek, I did not discover the show until it was in syndication. Yet, even at a tender elementary school age, I knew I preferred Spock to Kirk.
Fastforward to today, and the New! Improved! version of the game. Yes, it's time for Bono or Edge!?!?!
This is a much harder game, as they are both impossibly cool. And passionate. And really good looking. However, the award has to go to the Edge, based on this fabulous quote (from today's Salon):
U2 guitarist The Edge on a key difference between his band at the time of Live Aid and at the time of Live 8 -- the hair: "I don't think I'll be wearing the mullet again … We can't take credit for inventing the mullet, but we can certainly lay claim to extending the envelope for what the mullet can mean … Bono committed the more egregious crimes against fashion with his Live Aid hair ... our shining moment in mullet lore."

Tough call - Bono has also had some classics lately. One of which was stated in court in CA - a former assistant of theirs stole a bunch of artifacts in the 80s and has been selling them. (Most notable, Bono's cowboy hat from "The Joshua Tree" cover shoot. Bono called the hat an icon of the era and that is was valuable. The judge questioned that it was not an icon at the time it was stolen 20 years ago. Bono retorted, "Oh no. We had illusions of grandeur even then."
It would be very nice to have that much confidence in your future.
