Find He-Man

As a boy, you spent hours searching for Waldo -- in a bush maze, on a ferris wheel, swimming in sewage -- but these days you need more than an effete geek in a stocking cap to inspire your questing. You need a real man. A He-Man: FindHeMan.com.

Thrillist - Find He-ManFH is a just-launched blog dedicated to stalking a real-life New Yorker who looks/acts/doesn't-wear- shirts just like the uber-pec'd guardian of Grayskull. The site's Blog-Ors surreptitiously photograph He in all His about-town beefcakery: Union Square, the bodega, the Shake Shack... They also recount their sightings, sometimes dryly ("He-man headed south on 23rd st. before entering this delicatessen"), sometimes with a bit of hyperbole ("seen with a drink cup containing a 1/2 lb. of unground Columbian coffee beans, 1/8 oz. of Peruvian cocaine, and a shot of pure panther adrenaline"). Readers are urged to send in their own sightings (w/pics or video) and leave comments about their encounters -- which to date have never entailed an eye-blistering unsheathing of his "Sword of Power".

If you consult FH's Google Map, you'll notice most of the sightings occur near 14th st., though He's been spotted as far north as Times Square -- an appearance that could be anomalous, or chilling proof that now, He-Man is finding you.
