This was the puzzling scene in downtown Santa Cruz on Monday morning. Really, folks, it's just like that here.

SM Queen...... sounds a bit risque to me. Oh "Street Mattress," there was me thinking something else.

That cop looks like a giant!Also ,the couple next to him seem to be waiting for their turn on the street mat.

Do you know about Santa Cruz? That's actually one of our less-relaxed cops here in the downtown area. The nicest one happens to be British, by the way.

DVD Dan - well, all I can say is thank goodness there was a press photographer on the scene, because this was not to be missed!

So,you live in Santa Cruz!?...Cops in shorts!Only in America.Here they wear helmets and stab-vests!

I can't believe anyone would pull such a stunt in YOUR hometown and not sent the SM Queen a press release prior to the event.

As it turns out, they had a permit to do what they were doing, as some sort of protest or demonstration. The sign says, "Vegetarians make better lovers." Actually, if they had been sleeping, they would have got a ticket because we have an ordinance against that here. The first story I heard was that they had actually been, um, fully engaged, so this is relatively tame! The cop still doesn't look very happy about it though.

So...did the cop give them a ticket, or what? Is there an ordinance in Santa Cruz about not laying on a mattress on the sidewalk? Doesn't look to me like they were *sleeping.*
