| I blow the small ones up to 400k, 500k makes them blur |
|
| Adam said on Sun Oct 17th 2010 |
| I can do the resize by individual user as well.
|
|
| DVD Dan said on Sat Oct 16th 2010 |
| I like bigger. So is it not possible to do a conditional resize on the old ones that are larger than 640? |
|
| wim said on Thu Oct 14th 2010 |
| I still have a few old ones, but I'll try to make the new ones up to 499k |
|
| Adam said on Mon Oct 11th 2010 |
| Ok, so then moving forward we set pics to the larger 640 max size (and leave previous submissions @ the old size). As far as file size goes, anything less than 500k should do fine. |
|
| wim said on Sun Oct 10th 2010 |
| I try to get them as close to 200k as I can get, even when I take them smaller |
|
| Smart Set said on Sat Oct 9th 2010 |
| Will the "images under 200k" rule still apply? And will there be a maximum image size when submitting? |
|
| Smart Set said on Sat Oct 9th 2010 |
| Great news, but I'd rather the full images were not retrospectively resized where they were only 400 max to begin with, as 99.9% of mine were, because it makes them look lower quality, as you can see with my latest three pics. I'm looking forward to the new era, though! Thanks, Adam. |

| Hi Adam. Sounds good about the picture resolution. When are you thinking of putting it in place? |
|
| Wycliffe Barrett said on Fri Apr 30th 2010 |
| I have been away for 5 years, rather ihave been doing other stuff, I have always kept an eye on MTA and decided to do some submissions today, I shall continue to submit as I still think this is one of the most random sites on the net.

| As they might say in Cardiff " Fairplay SS!" How long did it take you to work this lot out ? The number of single submitters is interesting. I wonder how many views the actual site gets ? |
|
| Smart Set said on Tue Apr 1st 2008 |
| I've been doing some streetmattress stats. Here are the results: to date (April 1st, 2008, with 18080 matts) there have been 353 submitters, not 396. Of these, 165 (46.7%) have only a single submission, 37 (10.5%) have two submissions, 18 (5.1%) have three, and 13 (3.7%) have four. So, those with less than 5 submissions form 66.0% of the total. |

| So I was out yesterday with my wife, daughters and 8 year old niece. While in our travels we stopped several times to take SM pics. My girls are used to this by now and so by the third stop my niece asked "why are we taking pictures of mattress'?" My wife said it's a hobby of mine, my youngest said "it's for the internet" My oldest said "it's what you do when you're middle aged and have no friends." To which i replied "that's not true, I have friends all over the world and we share the same interest in streetmattress'" So whatever you call it, photography, art, or just taking pictures of garbage, it's what we do and we do it the best. Have a great day my fellow streetmattress hunters! |

| Oh glorious missed opportunities!! My mother just told me of a streetmattress sighting from a day or two ago. Some teenage girls had a mattress with apparently some skateboards underneath rolling down the street. They would run and hop on and roll a ways then jump up and down some and continue on down the street with it. What a great second SM video that would have been. I guess that is what video phones are for. Of course my mother doesn't roll with a video-camera phone much less any camera at all. In her defense she does alert me to stationary SMs in the neighborhood. |

| "STAPLED TO THE MATTRESS by Scarling"
It's over you're sober -pants around your ankles
You're ship wrecked - You've gone mute
Nothing there to say
You're naked and shaking like a 2 bit Judas
You fall down closefisted and end up in my way
You're the people who just want me to notice
You're the people I try so hard to ignore
You're the coward who demands me to save him
You will smother - under covers- stapled to the mattress.

My favourite type of dancing is done upon a bed
Moving to the music that plays within my head
Learning all the dance steps, point flex plie tendu
Bending over backwards, on point I ll be for you

A midnight dance for me

Mattress, mattress mambo
Mattress, do the mattress mambo

| Bullet In The Mattress by The Gadjits
"Let me tell ya a story that's a little bit gory
About a woman and her cheating man
She believed in the Glory of Love
And the cheating she just would not stand
He came home one night to a terrible fight
Because he smelled of anothers perfume
Darling he said you know that I love you
More than a born again Jew
Theres a bullet in the mattress
You can hear it go ring a ding ding ding
Theres a bullet in the mattress
This time I wanna hear ya sing" |

| Then there's Alan Fletcher, who plays Dr Karl Kennedy in Neighbours. He's in a band called Waiting Room and they have a song called "Mattress on the Floor" with thess lines: "Please give me one nights lovin'/
Don't show me the door/
Another night alone/
On my mattress on the floor".
Pretty spiffy! |

| A bit pathetic that they can only manage two mattress pics from the teeming Willesden area, but any party that posts large pics of dumped mattresses deserves votes. However, I did not like the dumped freezer and washing machine pics as much. |

| Thanks Wim. A couple of months of decent paychecks and hopefully back in a house this spring. The apartment life is getting old. My matts are powered by DELL at home but I run a MAC at work. I suggest a PC full size for the bill paying and an IBook with superdrive for play. |

|
| DVD Dan said on Sat Jan 28th 2006 |
| That is what I figured you meant, but windows has nothing to do with it. Intel isn't just windows. It also runs most smaller web servers which run some flavor of unix, which happens to be what the new mac os is built on. So it really isn't that big a deal. Other than all those Mac Heads won't have megaflop envy anymore. It should be a positive thing as you'll have faster more powerful macs with a steady development pipeline. Once all that software gets ported and the bugs squished that is. |
|
| ART said on Fri Jan 27th 2006 |
| I mean the choice for Intel |

|
| ART said on Fri Jan 27th 2006 |

|

| Just want to share a little irony with you folks. I had been unemployed since a layoff in March, attended a semester at the local community college to help pass time (Uncle Sam paid for it) and have recently gotten new employment. My profession is a Graphic Artist primarily working for printing companies. As you know for the past year this site has become somewhat of a hobby for me. The ironic part is that the company I now work for produces...mattress labels...from design to finished product for many different name brand companies. http://www.wrightlabels.com

| Hey, got an idea. Has anyone thought about asking the SM.com Gurus to come up with a user defined "favorites" link on your own showcase page? Let me explain: there are quite a few pics (not necessarily de Milos) that never show up on the main page and get buried in your own showcase pages without ever seeing the light of day. Or the light of your peers. You could take 30 pictures and have "the one" that you're most proud of (that doesn't de Milo) that gets buried under a wave of submissions. I don't know how hard it would be for Adam or Noonan to implement it. I know they periodically update the site with something new and exciting. If nothing else, it'd be interesting to see what other people regard as their own favorite pics. What do you guys think? Is it a go? |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Nov 14th 2005 |

But it doesn't quite explain it, because nearly 80% of the idiot comments were made *before* Theresa's "ROTTON" comment was added (which is the one that AOL's search - not Google's - finds. But, if we look all the way down at the 8th comment (after 7 sensible ones), which was left, sadly, by SM's own DjEsky, we find that he spelt it "rotton" first, which then opened the floodgates! |
|
| DVD Dan said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| You're missing the point. The link people are following is from the search result page on Google when they search for rotton.com. I imagine they then poke around when "rotton.com doesn't work. Any link on the first page of a Google search is going to attract some collateral clicking. |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| Dan, show me exactly where on rotten.com the direct link to Coco's pic is. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| Told you so. |
|
| Adam said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| That is how the majority of direct links to coco's mattress are being refered from. (according to my logs). |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| Adam, that's not the link to the mattress from another site, that's just the search finding a misspelling of "rotten" as "rotton" which appears in a comment on Coco's mattress. Are you able to do what Dan suggested - look at the "referring URL report" - to solve this mystery? |
|
| Adam said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| aolsearch.aol.co.uk: search for rotton.com and it links directly to coco's mattress. |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| Dan, I was being kind. I thought it would be mean to point out that you'd made two spelling mistakes in the one comment. |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| Dan, Rebecca's right. I had many a false "Eureka!" moment like that until I realised. |
|
| Rebecca said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| I don't think that shows anything except that someone commented here and said "rotton.com." |
|
| DVD Dan said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| Hey SS it looks like Coco's link is from a Google search page http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22www.rotton.com%22 |
|
| DVD Dan said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| Well at least I caught it before SS did, or he was being kind. |
|
| Rebecca said on Mon Oct 24th 2005 |
| They were board. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Oct 23rd 2005 |
| Why did they have to make english so damn hard? |
|
| Rebecca said on Sun Oct 23rd 2005 |
| I really don't like the idiot comments on such a fine picture. Coco didn't seem to mind too much though. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Oct 23rd 2005 |
| Maybe if Adam gets really board he'll take a peak at the referring URL report, to solve the mystery. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Oct 23rd 2005 |
| I've been trying to track down the site that has the direct link to Coco's "Too Old For School" (#2609), and though there are numerous links (many on really LCD sites) to the front page and the showcase page, I can't find any links straight to the picture. www.rotten.com has a link to us, and I thought "Aha!" but again, not to the pic. Google can't find it via its links search, so it's a bit of a mystery. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sat Oct 22nd 2005 |
| Of course, too bad those Hollywood producers don't have their priorities straight when it comes to background authenticity. I guess I'll just have to wait for our current spy satellite photos to go commercial then I'll be able to cherry pick Acton matts from the comfort of my office chair via Google Earth. |

Streetmattress 3/4/02
Description: a web based outlet for urban art hunters
Comment: Only on the web, baby! It's global – it's real – it's fun! Today's pick comes to you from street-level and you've got to give Noonan props for coming up with such a unique concept – streetmattresses as art. Okay – so it really does sound silly at first. Who would possibly be interested in such goofiness? You'd be surprised. There's almost 300 submissions from people all over the world – photos of all kinds of mattresses spotted on the street. About 20% of the submissions come from Noonan and Adam, the guys behind the site, but there's 17 other people who have submitted at least 3 entries. A guy named Matthew in Australia has already spotted 30 streetmattresses and Sunnydazeuk seems to have Sarasota, Florida covered nicely with 27. Oddly enough, Adam also has spotted a number of streetmattesses in Sarasota while Noonan is busy spotting 'em in NYC. Five more of the participants have at least 10 spottings to their credit – this is absolutely amazing! A grandfather who visits the site says "this is a fun way to have the fun of hunting without whacking anything." Good point! Another visitor says "Man I LOVE stupid web sites, but holy god this one is a piece of donkey feces. And the fact that it seems well programmed makes it even worse." Yeah, right – I'll betcha he's out there looking for mattresses, too! It's nice to see people having such fun on the web by taking it to the streets, dontcha think?

| Any of you folks tried Google Earth? I didn't get it at first; I thought it's just another satellite view. Then I discovered the view angle function. This will be bloody unbelievable in 3 to 5 years. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sat Oct 15th 2005 |
| Look at those stats. October is going to be the month that breaks all records. |
|
| Adam said on Sat Oct 15th 2005 |
| That depends on the amount of submissions. location categories have been considered on the front page, I just need to get some time to put it in. |
|
| Rebecca said on Fri Oct 14th 2005 |
| Yes, thank you. |
|
| DIRTY STEVE said on Fri Oct 14th 2005 |
| good work adam and noonan!!! |
|
| Salinger said on Thu Oct 13th 2005 |
| Adam, how much time (per day/per week) does this take you? Is there a way we could do the locations bit for you?? |
|
| Adam said on Thu Oct 13th 2005 |
| I have a form that shows all submitted info that is editiable. The category and location are chosen and then....submit. The pictures are generated at the same time (with branding). Submitted info is inserted into the streetmattress DB. |
|
| ART said on Wed Oct 12th 2005 |
| now, Adam, you must inform us about how it all works now; do you have a pay-him-with-a-banana-monkey now who decides what category? |
|
| FOD40UK said on Wed Oct 12th 2005 |
| I liked the comma, didn't like the big nav. buttons (didn't you try that once before, a couple of years ago?) |
|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Oct 12th 2005 |
| Hey Adam, now that you seem to have so much free time on your hands how's about turning the BB back on. Purty Please. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Oct 12th 2005 |
| HEY WHERE'S THE COMMA? just kidding I don't care. I do prefer the nonghetto navigation font size though. |
|
| Adam said on Wed Oct 12th 2005 |
| I did'nt like the changes either. |
|
| Smart Set said on Wed Oct 12th 2005 |

| ART said on Tue Oct 11th 2005 |
| I don't, as a European 10,502 is less than 11, 10.502 is much more than 11 (10.491 more) |
|
| Salinger said on Tue Oct 11th 2005 |

|
| ART said on Tue Oct 11th 2005 |

| HATS OFF TO ALL!!!
GOOD JOB WITH THE MATS!!!! |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Oct 10th 2005 |
| I see we now have a comma in the mattress counter and larger clickable headings across the top. This site never sleeps! Donavon, when you've clicked on a pic its # should be displayed as part of the URL in the address bar if you have one enabled/showing. It's usually(?) at the top of the page,(mattress=#####) but you can also see it as you pass the cursor over the pics on the "latest submissions" page. In my browser the numbers then appear down at the bottom of the page in the status bar. You can enable the status bar in "View". |
|
| Donavon said on Mon Oct 10th 2005 |
| Question...I always see you guys referencing mattress #XXXXX, where in the heck on SM.com are you able to search/browse for a mattress by number? And for that matter, how can you tell what number a mattress is? |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| Fancy that, you two agreeing on something and over a fake no doubt. Your relationship is certainly too complex for me to comprehend. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| No, it's #6174. |
|
| Vogon3 said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |

|
| Smart Set said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| Vogon3, you deliberately misunderstand me, don't you?
You are talking rubbish. |
|
| Vogon3 said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| Chaf you should submit the pic you like if they are rejected ask why and learn from that. but remember the matt police may get together later and have a pic withdrawn as eventhough it was put up by the holders of the site it did not fit the standards of the self appointed. So come on Chaf united we stand streetmatts forever, and don't fall into the close up camp...Splitters |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| WOW up to date, amazing! |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| I wasn't really debating with V3 about what should and shouldn't get posted, I was just trying to find out why he sometimes submits pics in which the matt is kind of hard to make out. We *are* all participating equally, since all we can do is send the stuff in and hope Adam likes it, but maybe after many submissions the "old hands" have more of an idea about what will be accepted and rejected. I don't see why following along would make you "inane", but aren't we all internet junkies here? |
|
| Chaf said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| I am confused about the integrity of this site. There are pictures posted with obvious photoshop work done to them as well as pics posted in the Sans category. While this goes on I have had some that would fall under these areas rejected. At the same time there has been massive "debating" going on by participants about what should or should not get posted. I just think the lines for submission should be clearly drawn so we can all particiapate equally, or maybe I should just not worry and follow along like some inane internet junkie? |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Oct 9th 2005 |
| Incredible! We're now up to date. Fantastic work, Adam. |

| SMART SET TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY!!! I've just submitted my 1111th pic, and I'm now going to slow right down/stop for a while, as the preparation and submission of the pics is taking up too much of my time. I will continue to comment to an excessive degree, and will try to take pics only of matts I think have something noteworthy about them, and submit a modest batch occasionally. I don't know if I'll be able to manage such abstemiousness, but we'll see. |

| i have mat #10000 and 20000. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Sep 25th 2005 |
| I think ART meant the matt that shall bear the #10000 rather than the matt which will tip the counter from 9999. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sat Sep 24th 2005 |
| I don't think so ART we're probably 200 short at this point, unless DIRTY STEVE has 200 in the pipeline. |

|
|
| Vogon3 said on Mon Sep 19th 2005 |
| I think a good way of doing the submissions is that we all take pics of matts and submit them then wait for them to be put up on the site and while we wait take more pics of matts. If the new submitters (as we all were once) can't wait a while so be it. lets not fix what is not broken. keep up the good work A&N |
|
| Rebecca said on Wed Sep 14th 2005 |
| I have heard a little bit about some of the unacceptable pictures and believe me, you don't want to see them. |

| is that 4 years ago...time goes fast |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Sep 12th 2005 |
| Was it a coincidence that the matt count was increased to 9110 on the 4th anniversary of 9/11? |
|
| ART said on Sun Sep 11th 2005 |
| indeed there's a risk, or some solution in between, that we submitters have to put the pic in place, with some check list, I mean, that we do all the work and that they just have to give there permission to put it online...I have no idea what they need to do for the moment to put our pics online, but I can imagine it is a lot of work when you look at the waiting time |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Sep 11th 2005 |
| While possible, I don't know if giving free rein to the pillow perverts lurking out there is a good idea. Only A&N know what was in those 491 pictures we didn't get to see. |
|
| ART said on Sun Sep 11th 2005 |
| couldn't there be a way that pictures automaticly would be posted and seen on the net (as our comments)...but with a built-in possibility that Adam/Noonan kick them out anutime they think it's not a streetmatt, or even with some kind of voting or whatever...the only risk you have is that people send in "sick" pics... |
|
| Smart Set said on Sat Sep 10th 2005 |
| I agree with Ken. Not sure how I could help, being a total web dunce, but let me know if there's anything I could do (apart from not submitting so many, of course!). |
|
| Ken said on Fri Sep 9th 2005 |
| It's just not as much fun to post pics anymore because it takes a month+ for them to show up on the site. I would gladly donate my time to resize/upload pictures if you would let me. Im sure there are a lot of others that would also.
I bet it is really hard for newcomers to get interested because they dont see their pictures up there.
Adam/Noonan, If you cant spend time on it, I completely understand, but let us help please! Don't let the popularity of this great hobby die! |

| Stacey, I can't recommend a hotel from personal experience, but the Acton Town Hotel is just around the corner from me and would probably qualify as cheap and safe; I just have no idea what its standards are like, or what your friends would expect. Anyway, check it out at www.actontownhotel.co.uk/
and see what you think. There is currently a streetmatt just two minutes' walk from the hotel, though they fail to mention this in their list of plus points. Good luck. |
|
| Stacey said on Mon Jul 18th 2005 |
| Hey Smart Set, my friends arrive in London tomorrow - the 19th and since I'm performing the Miss Moneypenny role, I was wondering in you knew a cheap, yet relatively safe hotel for them to stay at? I know, I ask too much, feel free to tell me to shut up at any time. S |

| Stacey, if you get to the UK I'll be happy to show you the London matt scene. Ask wim about my chauffeured matthunting service. |
|
| Salinger said on Fri Jul 15th 2005 |
| Stacey - check out www.worldsbestbars.com - the site usually has some good advice. |
|

| S, I like the new word "addy" |
|
| Stacey said on Thu Jul 14th 2005 |
| Thanks Wim! Adam, can you send along Wim's addy? Thanks man, yer the best. My love to everyone. S |
|
| wim said on Thu Jul 14th 2005 |
| Stacey, Adam has our adress, just inform us about your friends preferences, when they come and where want to go, Belgium is small, but not that small |
|
| Stacey said on Thu Jul 14th 2005 |
| Noonan's sister here! He's given me the go ahead to hit you guys up for some info on Europe, street mattress locations and otherwise. I have two friends who are currently winging it through Europe (right now in France, next stop Belgium - I think) and would love information on anything cool to do, cool to see, places to drink...you know, the usual. I'll be joining them at some point and I really like the idea of a global Street Mat Summit if it can be arranged. Anyway, if you'd like to send some ideas please send them to myfatcan@hotmail.com - Thanks for your help! |

| Smart Set said on Wed Jul 13th 2005 |

|

| Interested in what? I'd support Salinger's Olympic bid. |
|
| psychobabble said on Mon Jun 13th 2005 |
| SS, there's a new challenge for you, interested? |
|
| Salinger said on Mon Jun 13th 2005 |
| With so many matts in the pipeline, I couldn't bring myself to ask A & N to increase their workload. |
|
| psychobabble said on Mon Jun 13th 2005 |
| Sal, think its about time for another election, what do you reckon? |
|
| Salinger said on Mon Jun 13th 2005 |
| Well. Now there's a question. And although I don't know for sure, I think a long long time ago there was only one location listed and that was the United Kingdom. Then, when a few Scotish people started submitting mattresses, a separate location for Scotland appeared. My guess is that they were Scottish Nationalists who asked A+N for independence. Incidentally, although (I think) my poll indicated a slight preference for the Olympic categorisation (3 votes to 2), nothing was changed. |
|
| psychobabble said on Mon Jun 13th 2005 |
| So, Sal, how did Scottie get it's own category then?? |
|
| Salinger said on Mon Jun 13th 2005 |
| Psycho, do you know what??? back in the day when we had a forum, I raised this question and ran a poll. UEFA classifications, in which we have entirely separate entries for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland vs. the Olympic variation where we are all the United Kingdom. I favoured the Olympic version (but with subsets for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - much like the way America is split in to states.) |
|
| psychobabble said on Sun Jun 12th 2005 |
| Hi A & N, I've noticed that under 'locations', you have a category for 'United Kingdom' and also a seperate category for 'Scotland'. Well, Scotland is still actually part of the UK, but it would make more sense to integrate Scotland back into the UK totals and create a new and seperate category for the "Matt Republic of Acton"... |
|

|

|
| Smart Set said on Wed Jun 8th 2005 |
| I am a little happier, now I know that N & A are still alive! Please may we have some more, o omnipotent ones? |
|
| ART-chitect said on Wed Jun 8th 2005 |
| you got 3, happy now? ;-) I stopped submitting, hoping that my old matts get online...I think they have chosen a life above the matt-site |
|
| Smart Set said on Wed Jun 8th 2005 |
| Dear Adam/Noonan, any chance of some new matts? It's been eight days now... |
|
| ART-chitect said on Fri May 27th 2005 |
| it's unavoiable that there will be one day a matt-hunting-conference with all the leaders of the world, talking about policy and rules, with selections and shit like that |
|
| wim said on Thu May 26th 2005 |
| I prefer expensive women and slow booze, why did you invite only 10 people, invite all hunters and find out where it gets you... |
|
| Smart Set said on Wed May 25th 2005 |
| I hope your lack of a social life is not because of streetmattress. |
|
| FOD40UK said on Wed May 25th 2005 |
| Hey, Noonan its great to hear that you're just like one of us!!(and there was me thinking that you were some sort of archetypal party animal,always liquored up on cheap women and fast beer!?............or something!!) |
|
| noonan said on Wed May 25th 2005 |
| Let's get this straight right now, I neither have nor ever had "a life". I do however have a new apartment and 10 people visiting this week which has kept me busy. Please do not confuse this with having any semblance of a social life what-so-ever. |

| Well it was great! Didn't want to elaborate on your profession, which means you're part of the European mafia, right? Am I right? ;) |
|
| wim said on Sat Apr 30th 2005 |
| Christine, the name of the programme is "man bites dog", it is a small item on national tv, daily. A camerateam picks up people and tries to find peculiar items. I was picked up by sheer cöincidence.As I did not want to be elaborate on my profession, I talked about streetmattress. It was good enough to be on the show. A few days later we were interviewed by a national newspaper. |
|
| ChristineLarsen said on Sat Apr 30th 2005 |
| YEAH WIM! Love your footage. I'm curious...what exactly was that footage from? News story? Social commentary? |
|
| Smart Set said on Sat Apr 30th 2005 |
| Now now, pooshooter, that's not very polite, is it? Do you think that calling this site "shithouse" will endear you to the streetmattress crew and send them rushing to their computers to remedy "pooshooter's problem"? |
|
| DVD Dan said on Fri Apr 29th 2005 |
| That would be more of a browse than a search. It would be cool to have a full search of all the fields. That way wim can quickly find all the NTORs or search for all matts from Brooklyn. |
|

|
| ART-chitect said on Fri Apr 29th 2005 |
| it's a show, everyday, with short movies about little, ordinairy, just not normal things happening in Belgium, Man in the street I mean. You never see the reporter but indeed he sat in the back. "E40" is a serie of interviews shot in a car driving the road "E40" about people telling what they do. Which can be interesting as you've seen. ;-) About his driving style: it's always a mixture of eyeglasses, photocamera, cellphone, paperfiles, something to drink or eat...so...just normal I guess |
|
| Smart Set said on Fri Apr 29th 2005 |
| Enjoyed wim's TV appearance. Thanks for the subtitles, ART. Some questions about it: why was it all shot in the car? Why was it so short? Who is that talking in the background at one point (not the reporter)? Why were you looking so solemn? Do you always drive with one hand, wim? |
|

|
| wim said on Sat Apr 23rd 2005 |
| we told the newspaperman we were postmodern futurists, the cat is sheeba, a coïncidence, she is not ours, and yes we wanted to look absurdly serious, and did not want the churchtower in the back (it is on several of our pictures); as the mat is faked, we don'tsubmit it. And yes I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE MESSAGEBOARD COME BACK |
|
| FOD40UK said on Sat Apr 23rd 2005 |
| I second that emotion. |
|
| Rebecca said on Fri Apr 22nd 2005 |
| I care and I would love to see it come back. |
|
| ART-chitect said on Fri Apr 22nd 2005 |
| SS: it's the picture made by the man from the newsletter, nobody recognized us while mostly everybody knows everything around here...that futon came from my old teener room, so it's kind of fake streetmatt but the photographer wanted one and you know how hard it is to catch one |
|
| dirty steve said on Fri Apr 22nd 2005 |
| does anyone care???????? |
|
| DVD Dan said on Fri Apr 22nd 2005 |
| Oh where, oh where has the message board gone, oh where, oh where could it be? |
|
| Smart Set said on Thu Apr 21st 2005 |
| I had to laugh when the word "uitgebreide" from the caption "Klik HIER om een uitgebreide reportage te zien" (Click HERE to see a vast coverage") was translated as "vast". I was expecting pages and pages of text, plus dozens of photos! |
|
| Smart Set said on Thu Apr 21st 2005 |
| What a brilliant, but weird picture of you and your dad, ART. You both look so serious, as if at a funeral. I suppose the idea is that the mattress is dead. This rather contradicts what wim says about the hobby being purely for fun. The cat is good, but where did that fancy mattress come from? |
|

| They will need an employee. Like me. |
|
| ART-chitect said on Wed Apr 13th 2005 |

|
| FOD40UK said on Sun Apr 10th 2005 |
| Yeah!Futons like, suck! |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Apr 10th 2005 |
| Thanks to this website I have come to relish - nay, revere - the spectacle of the discarded streetmattress - perhaps standing proud and defiant against a wall (more likely drooping and despondent), bending stained and drunkenly around a pole, maybe lying fatally ripped and holed, even perched atop a skipful of scrap - for its almost unlimited artistic potential and great poignancy. The wayside futon, however, while undeniably a mattress of sorts, has, through no fault of its own - for purely structural reasons - but one posture: the slump. Unaesthetic, uninspiring, uninteresting. That is the reason I renounce it, Rebeccca. So, no disrespect, but the traditional western mattress is my favourite, and I can't be bothered with futons any more. |
|
| Rebeccca said on Sat Apr 9th 2005 |
| I don't see any significant difference between a futon and any other kind of mattress but then again I grew up in Japan. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sat Apr 9th 2005 |
| Indeed. Futons, cot mattresses and sofabeds (and sonofabeds) - I eschew them all. Yes, now that I've got what I wanted from them I just don't want to know them any more. Typical. Right, girls? |
|
| wim said on Sat Apr 9th 2005 |
| fair thinking SS, it is like the futons, but wait till you get desperate and you'll submit anything even unrelated to a bed, and thanks Dan, I visited the site and had Fod's thougts |
|
| FOD40UK said on Sat Apr 9th 2005 |
| And there was I thinking Cafe Press to be some sort of espresso machine! |
|
| FOD40UK said on Sat Apr 9th 2005 |
| I dont do futons! |
|
| Rebecca said on Sat Apr 9th 2005 |
| I have a similar stance on sofabeds. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sat Apr 9th 2005 |
| As of today, I have decided not to submit pictures of bedbases (boxsprings). I will submit them only if they are with a mattress/mattresses. My reasons for this are: 1) they are not mattresses, and 2) I am fed up with them because they are ugly. Wow, I feel strangely liberated. |
|
| wim said on Fri Apr 8th 2005 |
| That still does not still my hungry feeling wanting to know what a "cafépress" is |
|
| DVD Dan said on Fri Apr 8th 2005 |
| wim I think you have our Street Mattress Queen confused with someone else. If milk is to be served, it should be you serving it to her majesty. |
|
| wim said on Thu Apr 7th 2005 |
| I'll leave some milk outside my doorstep Rebecca, and then I'll let you in, so you can pour it in my CafePress (if I knew what it was) |

|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Apr 6th 2005 |
| Rebecca so why are you so hottsy totsy special to know the whereabouts of the SM server? BTW I whole heartedly agree with the CafePress idea. I know I would have already if it was my baby, but then again I am a cold hearted capitalist pig. |
|
| wim said on Mon Apr 4th 2005 |
| Be gentle to your knee Rebbecca, I imagine it to be a long walk |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Apr 3rd 2005 |
| Way to go, guys! You're really getting through the backlog now. Well done and keep it up! |
|
| Rebecca said on Sat Apr 2nd 2005 |
| What I'm saying is I could probably walk up to the exact location and find the actual machine housing streetmattress if I wanted to. However, I don't have executive clearance to reveal its whereabouts so my secret dies with me. SS, you must know that there are saboteurs and assassins around every corner, and the walls have ears! |
|
| ART-chitect said on Fri Apr 1st 2005 |
| Dad, I can officialy say that's nothing for this month. We'll keep you informed.PS: even the Pentagon is looking for the exact position of the server. |
|
| Smart Set said on Fri Apr 1st 2005 |
| Does the location of the SM server need to be classified information? |

|

|
| Smart Set said on Fri Apr 1st 2005 |
| Yes. New York, I think. |
|
| Wycliffe said on Fri Apr 1st 2005 |
| Hey Cool Smartset, thanks for the info, makes me feel a whole lot better. I just noticed the time stamp on the comments, so where is the streetmattress.com held. Would I be right in saying stateside.
|
|
| Smart Set said on Fri Apr 1st 2005 |
| I meant 21 days ago. I was thinking it was still yesterday. |
|
| Smart Set said on Fri Apr 1st 2005 |
| Wycliffe, thanks for the remark about my great body!
There's no favouritism on streetmattress - all pics (except Vogon3's) get processed in strict order of submission. My latest pics were submitted on March 10th - 20 days ago. Be patient, your matts will appear about three weeks after you submitted them. Glad to hear you've sent some more, too!
|
|
| Wycliffe said on Fri Apr 1st 2005 |
| Love the site, I have been adopted as [part of the UK crew, with my one solitary submission from The Land of My Father (Wales). Why is it submissions I put up last week or so have not been processed when Smartset, someone I admire for his great body of work. Gets a mountain of mats placed all from the day of submission.
I know your busy but come on guys a little bit of equality wouldn't go amiss. |
|
| wim said on Thu Mar 31st 2005 |

| I saw Doctor Who last night. almost jumped out of my chair when the streetmattress appeared! there may have been a second later on, could have been wood though. hard to tell. |

| Smart Set said on Mon Mar 28th 2005 |
| Yeah! |

| hey lady boy how come you only comment about smart set are you not interested in the matts |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Mar 27th 2005 |
| I don't think lesbians use terms like "Mrs". |
|
| Lady Boy said on Sun Mar 27th 2005 |
| Mrs Smart Set! are you now telling us you are a lesbian SS |

| FOD40UK said on Sun Mar 27th 2005 |
| Yes I still use a video 2000 set!(a Philips VR2022)originally it had a very good freeze frame, but I'm down to my last couple of tapes now so they're wearing a bit thin.I generally find new(to me)tapes at car boot sales but they're scarse lately. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Mar 27th 2005 |
| FOD, somehow I knew you'd be watching! Time travel - nice one. No, Mrs Smart Set was doing the subtitles for the DVD version and she happened to get a copy of the episode a couple of days before the prog went out on BBC1. You're joking about the video 2000, though, surely?! Try a photo without freeze-framing - have a steady hand and use a shutter speed slower than 1/50th sec. Did you notice the BBC's blunder when Graham Norton's voice from the dance programme which preceded Dr Who breaking in to the programme early on as Billie Piper's character is being menaced by the Autons? "Am I out there or on the sofa?" he said, then "Am I here?" Some lowly operative's head will roll at TV Centre for that! I liked certain aspects of the programme and disliked others, but the mattress stole the show. It's a pity each episode is self-contained, though - no cliffhangers. |
|
| FOD40UK said on Sun Mar 27th 2005 |
| Hey,SS!Spotted the matt before noticing your comment(How did you know it was coming?Insider info?Time travel?)I'd taped it so I tried to photo it, but my ancient video 2000 has a diabolical freeze-frame!p.s.The new series looks every bit as good as the originals Rebecca(I know you're a big fan!) |
|
| Smart Set said on Fri Mar 25th 2005 |
| UK matt fans! BBC1 7pm tomorrow (Sat 26th), Dr Who. Excellent streetmattress 13 or 14 mins in. Peep round the sofa and thrill to it! |

| JimmyLee said on Wed Mar 23rd 2005 |
| when will we see streetwreck.com (dead cars) or perhaps streetcouch.com? maybe even streetpeople (dodgey street people?) hrmm tops |
|
| Rebecca said on Wed Mar 23rd 2005 |
| It was presumptuous of me to put it in those terms - my personal experience was that I didn't much care until I suddenly found myself there. But then I'm the one Jeff described as only having some competetive cartilage. |
|
| ART-chitect said on Tue Mar 22nd 2005 |
| 3 pieces each isn't enough I guess for the people who find more than 3 matts pro day |
|
| wim said on Tue Mar 22nd 2005 |
| I type too fast, sorry |
|
| wim said on Tue Mar 22nd 2005 |
| Me to I am inn for the idea of a maximum of three submissions at once by one and the same submitter. I am slowing down because I wait for the next round of itures untll I am on the frontpage again, after all, it must reamin fun not only to the ones on top but for the new starters as well, and I like this suspense, in ly case not knowing how much Steve has in his sleeves |
|
| Rebecca said on Mon Mar 21st 2005 |
| Well, for those of us at the top, it adds an element of suspense because I don't know how many mattresses Dan has waiting to be posted. It's a little different but it's okay. I personally still like the idea of selling streetmattress mugs and t shirts and whatnot - a little extra money would be well-deserved for our hardworking mattress mentors. |
|
| Smart Set said on Mon Mar 21st 2005 |
| Vogon, I'm not over-excited...just thinking. After all, it's largely we Actonians' fault that it's now two and a half weeks before pics appear. Not very instant for the internet, is it? |
|
| Vogon3 said on Mon Mar 21st 2005 |
| smart set just calm down the system is fine just wait ... your pics will appear I like them on the front page and I like the not knowing when factor..... |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| I imagined that not having to put them on the front page would save some time, but I suppose you're right - it probably wouldn't. Maybe if boxsprings/bedbases were banned... After all, they ain't mattresses. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| MPE |
|
| Rebecca said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| But I think the work lies in the accept/reject and category-designation stages. The rest all sorts itself out accordingly. |
|
| Smart set said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| Dan, I didn't mean that any submission would bypass the accept/reject and category- designation stages, just that some submissions from big batches would never be on the front page. Three pages is a good idea, though. |
|
| Rebecca said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| I already volunteered to sort for a close-up category once. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| I'd suggest expanding the latest submissions to span say 3 pages. Or just change it like you did the lastest comments. That way the latest 105 matts can be quickly viewed and you don't have to worry so much about flooding the front page. I don't think there is anyway around that as it doesn't look like the Acton Gang is going to let up on you Adam/Noonan. Interesting ideas SS but they don't address the need for a Matt Maestro to accept/reject a submission and select a category for each submission. Which takes precious free time from our founders who are finding their little hobby is turning into unpaid labor. Hopefully still a labor of love. Maybe some help is in order. When Rebecca was laid up I was thinking of nominating her as an assistant Mattress Maestro. Just my $1.25. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| A refinement to this would be that if someone submits, say, 10 or 20 matts at once, only the first 5 would make it to the front page, the rest straight to the showcase, as it were, plus the index would be updated. |
|
| Smart Set said on Sun Mar 20th 2005 |
| Adam/Noonan, what about a new way of posting submissions in order to reduce the enormous mattlog and return the "turnaround time" to what it was in earlier days? Here's the deal: put the whole backlog up ASAP, along with an index e.g. Wetspot +44, SS +157, Vogon +95, Nigel +4,303 etc. Then in future put big batches from individuals up in a similar way while keeping the front page refreshed with pics from submitters who have sent in only a few that day (and occasional/new submitters, who in any case probably need the exposure more). What do you (and my fellow SM-ers) reckon to this idea? Sorry, A & N, if my ignorance of the amount of work this would involve for you makes this seem an unreasonable request. |

|
| Smart Set said on Sat Mar 12th 2005 |
| I make that a total of 73 submissions on February 21st 2005. That's the same number as in the entire 31 days of October 2002. I propose that henceforth this day be known and celebrated as M-Day or something. |

| Well that confirms my suspicions. |
|
| Rebecca said on Sat Mar 5th 2005 |
| Funny you should ask. You may recall that I was an Art History major, so unsurprisingly I have some rather strongly developed opinions when it comes to schools of art. Rococo just makes me choke-o. |

| Some of my mouseovers don't work, Adam. e.g. Page 2, # 1 of my showcase. |
|
| Rebecca said on Sun Feb 13th 2005 |
| Yeah, they're awesome. Very fun. A long time ago I asked if the names of pictures might be put under the thumbnails in the showcase, since I thought it would help find things. In my own showcase, I wanted to look through my submissions so as to not double-name them. I solved that by going through all my pictures and renaming them all to match the names I gave them here, which I now do as a matter of course. The mouse over feature is not only fun, it will facilitate searching, which I do sometimes when I want to refer to something. |

| Mattresses stolen from the web are far less interesting than a submitter going out into the world and creating their own art. So yes, just stealing pictures found on the web probably wont get in from now on. |
|
| Smart Set said on Tue Jan 25th 2005 |
| Hi, Noonan and Adam. Is it now streetmattress policy to reject photos lifted of the web, or does it depend on certain criteria? Cheers. |

|
| Smart Set said on Sun Jan 16th 2005 |
| Having looked at all the "streetmattress in media" pics I can't see any duplicates, and certainly none of Dirty Steve's. Trouble is, if a webpic is made a "de Milo" it won't appear in the media category. Which pics of yours are you referring to, Dirty Steve? |
|
| ART-chitect said on Sun Jan 16th 2005 |
| I once made that mistake but now I will never submit a webpic again... I even have some more but it's hard to say if they are already submitted unless indeed there is another way to overview quickly all the submissions. But there are more important things then that so Adam: it's great as it is at this moment, no changes required |
|
| dirty steve said on Fri Jan 7th 2005 |
| since i asked about mats off the web everyone has got the pictures i have |
|
| Smart Set said on Fri Jan 7th 2005 |
| It may seem an odd request, but I would really like to see a searchable, clickable, alphabetical list of titles, to help with naming submissions and to provide a different way of exploring the site. Would anyone else find this interesting or useful? Adam? Noonan? |

|
| ChristineLarsen said on Fri Nov 5th 2004 |
| I agree, wim. Most of us (well okay, HALF of us) probably were just thinking, "ANYONE but Bush." So we had Well-I-Guess-He's-Gotta-Do Kerry. Squirrel fur burning is a ritual that can only be done during the grieving process. Dan, in one of Gore's speeches he specifically said that he wouldn't altogether ban this practice, just regulate it somewhat. I'll try to find the transcript somewhere, I'm sure I heard it. |
|
| wim said on Thu Nov 4th 2004 |
| I hope you let the squirrel out first, mind you, we are not convinced that you had a real choice, you start getting a real choise as soon as poor people can run for president in stead of run for a president |

| SM's ISP seems to be a little flaky recently. Not a good situation. |
|
| FOD40UK said on Thu Sep 16th 2004 |
| HEY!,I've missed youse guys(you dont know what you've got till its gone) |
|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Sep 15th 2004 |
| Thank heaven SM is back, my thumb was getting pretty raw from all that sucking, curled up in a fetal position in the corner of my room trying to cope with the withdrawl symtoms. |
|
| Rebecca said on Wed Sep 15th 2004 |
| *shudder* 14.4 I can't imagine. The only thing worse is No Internet at all or perhaps No Streetmattress, leaving me wandering in the lonely mists for the last couple of days. I'm so glad it's back, even though I have to go out of town now. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sun Sep 12th 2004 |
| Ahhhhh back in the Megabit saddle and a day early no doubt. |
|
| Kevin37uk said on Fri Sep 10th 2004 |
| I remember 14.4, god how did I put up with it? Now I fortunately have cable which comes in at have 768K. I know it's an odd speed. but that's Telewest for you. It's actually because I was a 512k user but we all get 50% extra for free now. |
|
| dirty steve said on Fri Sep 10th 2004 |
| THE PICTURES WILL BE COMING SOON!!!
I HAVE DIAL UP INTERNET |
|
| FOD40UK said on Fri Sep 10th 2004 |
| Hey Dan,Welcome back to the real world.Just wait till you try sending a coupla matts!(I once made a cup of tea and tuned up my banjo before a submission had finished) |
|
| DVD Dan said on Fri Sep 10th 2004 |
| Better log off now - only 1043 free hours left. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Fri Sep 10th 2004 |
| OH the horror, my cable is out and I can't logon to my old backup ISP. I'm now an AOHeller for the 1st time. At least until Sunday when they fix my cable (I hope) Took 16 minutes to fetch my 396 emails. It is hard to believe I actually used to surf at 14.4. |
|
| dirty steve said on Thu Sep 9th 2004 |
| i will start to submit my 80 soon! |
|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Sep 8th 2004 |
| dirty steve are you trying say you caught 80 in 3 days? Heaven to Betsy. The most I've gotten in one day is oh 15 maybe 20. |
|
| FOD40UK said on Tue Sep 7th 2004 |
| Apart from stumbling across the occasional surprise matt,I tend to go out and get 8 or 10 at a time and then submit them over the next week or so. |
|
| Kevin37uk said on Tue Sep 7th 2004 |
| I've done about 5 before. Nowhere near 80. |

| Greetings to you from the other side. How is it there? |
|

| this is from NY, hello fellow americans... |
|
| ART-chitect said on Tue Jul 13th 2004 |
| humhum, I guess matthunters are shy, self-oriented, modest & don't dear to look someone in the eye..something to put in statistics? |
|
| ART-chitect said on Mon Jul 12th 2004 |
| leaving this thursday for a week...without digital equipment and a lousy hotel I guess...so you'll have to wait until after the trip..I once went there and only took black&white, will try it again but no high hopes for matts...if anyone wants to be a guide there, let me know!!!! or are there no NY-matt-hunters? |
|
| Rebecca said on Sun Jul 11th 2004 |
| Surely you can submit pictures from NY? Which week are you going, anyway? |
|
| ART-chitect said on Sun Jul 11th 2004 |
| fod40uk...that's life i guess, I will be out for a week so good luck, no hard (?) feelings, I will survive (unless some idiot wants to fly the airplane in some kind of building) |
|
| FOD40UK said on Sun Jul 11th 2004 |
| Hey Adam!,I've caught you up!Watch out Art,you're next!! |
|
| wim said on Sat Jul 10th 2004 |
| we should do something about the other continents, or install an extra ranking per continent. It is more fun for those who are not in front, as it is more fun not to submit more than 3 picture at once. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sat Jul 10th 2004 |
| Ever notice that there are three continents covered by our top 4 submitters? |
|
| ART-chitect said on Tue Jun 29th 2004 |

| RebeccaSorry to hear that. You aren't seeing Dr. Nick Riviera are you? |
|
| Rebecca said on Thu Jun 24th 2004 |
| Funny you should ask...I just had ANOTHER root canal, same darn tooth. If this doesn't work, endodontist. If I wasn't paying for all that, I could probably afford counseling for my pillow issues, right? |
|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Jun 23rd 2004 |
| Rebecca you're within normal limits as long as you aren't drizzling chocolate sauce on said pillows.
BTW how are the chompers? |
|
| Rebecca said on Wed Jun 23rd 2004 |
| Um...I have posted a picture of a street pillow in the message board but I can't afford professional help. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Tue Jun 22nd 2004 |
| Street Pillows?? That's just perverted. You should seek professional help. |
|
| Yus said on Tue Jun 22nd 2004 |
| How about showing picture of "street pillow"?I think they too somtime share the same "fate" as other mattresses.I would like to see them. |

| over here a bobcat is a small working device, let's say a mini-bulldozer |
|
| Rebecca said on Sat May 15th 2004 |
| I saw that article in the Santa Cruz Sentinel! No, I haven't but I was thinking of going back to Native Animal Rescue where I used to volunteer just so I could work with that bobcat. They can be extremely difficult though. |
|
| DVD Dan said on Sat May 15th 2004 |

Seen any Bobcats lately? |
|
| dirty steve said on Fri May 14th 2004 |

|
| wim said on Wed May 5th 2004 |
| I tend to look ahead, but it feels illy chilly if someone is right behind you, as did Steve with his long fast run, but then again, it remains a virus, and it takes a lot of luck in the good season |
|
| Rebecca said on Wed May 5th 2004 |
| Then you start looking at the numbers, you can't help it. I'm sure Wim is looking over his shoulder... |
|

| TRUE-it kinda sneaks up n grabs ya!After a couple of weeks of no sightings(or even worse that old loop of camera,no.mattress.Mattress,no camera.Return with camera,mattress gone)Its real uplifting to finally come across a suitable candidate.Then your family and friends join in and before you know it you're hooked. |
|

| It does not add up to a multiple of three so I don't know. Speaking of numbers, I noticed that I had 420 mattresses on April 20th. I didn't want to bring it up though. |

| ART-chitect said on Wed Apr 28th 2004 |
| what's wrong with being a traffic warden?...my father is indeed a black lover, i love white the best...so it isn't genetic determinated. I heared our Belgian chocolats and "pralines" are sold per piece in the States...and quite expensive |
|
| FOD40UK said on Wed Apr 28th 2004 |
| Wim,you're quite right of course,the English pallette prefers chocolate with a higher % cocoa oil and a lower % cocoa solids.The American tastes are differant again(Hershey bars-yuk!)Of course,if we all had the same tastes,the life of a chocolatier wouldn't be quite so thrilling(sic)and I'd have to go and be a traffic warden or rat catcher |
|
| wim said on Tue Apr 27th 2004 |
| FOD40UK we think French chocolate is not the real stuff, it has anotehr composition, more fat and less chocolate.As for me, I am a "fondant" fan or better still "noir de noir" |
|
| FOD40UK said on Tue Apr 27th 2004 |
| Cheers,ART!.....WIM,Most of the chocolate I work with comes from France.I've never been to Belgium.Though Belgian chocolate is exquisite |
|
| wim said on Mon Apr 26th 2004 |
| I kind of like the race aspect, but it realy does not matter, we had on eastern only monday as an extra day of. FOD40UK if you are a chocalatier,you must have been in Belgium. |
|
| ART-chitect said on Sun Apr 25th 2004 |
| i left the scene as well for a long period..but i am trying to come back...frank compernolle seems vanished, a shame indeed...FOD40UK..welcome, there is a great man inside you (althought you might be a woman)....my father has great competition in the top 10...i know, i'll never reach that top...just remember me as a small fish in this matt/mad world...beye..until the next matt appears for me! |

It was created to give us better way to discuss on/off topic things that don't relate to a particular mattress. Which is what many of us were doing here (feedback) before the forums.Don't be scared just poke around, register and join in if you feel like it, you won't break anything ;) |

|
| DVD Dan said on Thu Nov 13th 2003 |
| I wonder why November historically has a lull in submissions? |
|
| DVD Dan said on Thu Nov 13th 2003 |
| Oh yes, I've always loved that one. Why don't those Oxford folks make it so inflamable only pertains to personalities and not combustion? |

| Michael said on Tue Nov 11th 2003 |
| To DVD Dan, my understanding, as the useless bearer of a Master's in German, is that some English words are negated with the prefix un- and some with in-. No rhyme or reason, just depends on the word. My matt just sneezed. That is strange. I didn't even know it had a cold. |

| DVD Dan said on Sat Nov 8th 2003 |
| The matts out here are teasing me. I've never had such a run of matts popping up at unopportune times (can't snap the pic). It would be much easier if my optic nerve had a USB port. |

| I have no idea what Art Man is talking about. This site is all about documenting mattresses who for one reason or another have left home. Occasionally garbage makes appearance but the matter is both contextual and incidental. |

Come on Rebecca I got it, if not I would have bought that domain. Hey how about StreetPoop.com |
|
| artshole said on Thu Sep 11th 2003 |
| Bloody brilliant! Best website ever!! I use them (mattresses, that is) so I noticed there's never one around when you need it. Now, I know where to check for latest update. |
|
| Rebecca said on Thu Sep 11th 2003 |
| Dan, I suppose it's just a matter of personal taste as to which makes more sense. Anyhow I was being sarcastic. |
|
| ART-chitect said on Thu Sep 11th 2003 |
| it's easier to get a used condom on the street then an mattress...so I think what we are doing now is far more difficult... |
|
| DVD Dan said on Thu Sep 11th 2003 |
If I only knew. Spotted one a couple weeks ago baking in the sun at my work's parking lot.
BTW: Rebecca wouldn't StreetCondom.com make more sense than periphery.cc. Unless the cc stands for condom central of course.
That domain is available, however I'll resist the urge to buy it despite my weakness for collecting domain names. |
|
| Rebecca said on Thu Sep 11th 2003 |

| there's a whole world of rankings if we think about it. how about number of streetmatts per nonstreetmatt? or streets per streetmatt? or GNP per streetmatt-ita? |
|
| DVD Dan said on Fri Aug 29th 2003 |
| That would narrow the gap a bit, but it should still leave Belgium on top. |

| In my opinion the count has to done per person (pp) and not per square something, we are about 10.000.000 in Belgium, and lots of us share a mattres |
|
| DVD Dan said on Thu Aug 28th 2003 |
According to my calculations:
Belgium: 30,528km2
USA:9,518,330km2
The matt density is .0067 vs .0001, Belgium is 67 times more SM dense than the States. |
|
| wim's son said on Thu Aug 28th 2003 |
| DVD Dan : do you have any idea how big the US is? I'm gonna see how big we are but I thought Belgium was 3180 km2, so that's about 0.0065 M/KM2 |
|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Aug 27th 2003 |
| Belgium seems to be in the lead for M/KM2 (mattresses per square kilometer) |

|
| Frank said on Tue Aug 26th 2003 |
| Couldn't we organise a cooking contest, with Jamie Oliver in the Jury? “The naked chief” on a streetmattres, or on a bed of fresh lettuce, that could give nice picture! By the way, is a bed of fresh lettuce in a vegetable garden along a street, a streetmattress? And what about flowerbeds? |
|
| wim said on Sun Aug 24th 2003 |
| no, put on a cd by heavy metal
and wait until the mat softens up, punch at every new number on the cd |
|
| Rebecca said on Sun Aug 24th 2003 |
| Let me guess, put a mattress in a skip and boil until soft? |
|
| Salinger said on Sun Aug 24th 2003 |
| the best way to cook a British Matt is to use the 'a la skip' method. it dates back to the time when metal first became popular. |
|
| Christel said on Sat Aug 23rd 2003 |
| Yes usually, the mattresses i've missed were moving too fast... but sometimes, because I am a new mattress-hunter, i am not yet very emancipated, and so, when I was with people i am not very familiar with, I had to keep my yearn for me... I know that it is a stupid excuse |
|
| wim said on Sat Aug 23rd 2003 |
| Christel, it becomes worse, all my friends came back from their hollidays, with wild stories about mats they saw, but it only reminded them of me, they never had a camera, or forgot it, or the mat moved too fast, or the bus, or or or, I never heard so much excuses lately. Lucky for us Frank plans his hollidays in function of places where there are mats to be found. |
|
| Christel said on Fri Aug 22nd 2003 |
| I was looking for a place like that to tell my disappointment about all the mattresses i've missed. I didn't expect to find it in "about", that's why I was never come here before. I am back from the US and the hunt will be harder again. United States are full with street mattresses. I have missed at least 20 nice mattresses and it is a pity, i am very sorry about that... |
|
| Frank said on Fri Aug 22nd 2003 |
| Anybody here who'd know a good recipe to cook a wild streetmattress the British way? As you can see on the locations list, the nouvelle cuisine de matelas from France isn't very rich, so we'll have to stuck to the United Kingdom if we want to eat something. |
|
| Rebecca said on Fri Aug 22nd 2003 |

|
| Rebecca said on Fri Aug 22nd 2003 |
| Acidic? Have you taken a ph strip to him then? As for cooking, all I can pass on is what I learned as a child, which is that any and all vegetables are best boiled until soft and then eaten with butter and salt. I suspect this is a British cooking secret passed down from my foremothers. |
|
| wim said on Thu Aug 21st 2003 |
| What do you mean by acidic ? Ans seemingly acidic ? Does it imply that it is not acidic at all ? or only occasional. Anyway, british cooking is not bad at all, the only prblem I have is that I never kwow wether it walks, swims or flies when I am looking into the menu. |
|

|
| Salinger said on Fri Aug 15th 2003 |
| we like to call it undrained cooking. which dates back to the time when all cooking was done in the open air irrespective of the weather. undrained cooking took place in inclement weather. it is not too bad. |
|
| wim said on Wed Aug 13th 2003 |
| their cooking is not too bad, I would not call it pissed, watery yes, but pissed ? no |
|
| DVD Dan said on Wed Aug 13th 2003 |
| Or getting pissed (UK version) |
