In Hollywood. California, it is illegal to drive more than 2000 sheep down Hollywood Blvd. at one time...
...(that's why we have the 405 Freeway)... <O>

A 1913 New York Times article on portmanteaus includes the word "alcoholiday," which describes leisure time spent drinking.

Actually, the law is a well-known quirk of local ordinances; anyone who has lived in Hollywood for an extended period of time and taken the time to get to know its quirky history has heard about the sheep herding law. It goes back to the days when Hollywood was (at that time and in the earliest ages of the automobile) a far away area from the city of Los Angeles, which was really a rather small city, itself; Hollywood was mainly open land, some of which was cultivated; it was mainly someplace you passed through on the way to, say, the ocean. A few blocks from where I live is a building erected on the former site of the very first sound stage in Hollywood and which was also the site where the first feature-length movie, The Squaw Man, was filmed; the original building was moved to make room for the current structure; the current structure does, however, have a series of plaques mounted on it exterior walls detailing the history of the site; one of the plaques details how one of the original filmmakers in the US was seeking out someplace to move his New York-East Coast operations because the harsh winters and overly-humid summers made year-round filming very difficult, so he took a train trip across the US and thought hr had found a good place in, IIRC, Colorado, but a turn in the weather while he was there caused him to get back on a train and continue on until, just before getting into Los Angeles, he found the area now known as Hollywood... So there's your useless fact(s): if it hadn't been for a spate of bad weather in Colorado, that is where the "Movie Capitol of the World" might have been, instead of Hollywood... <O>

At Fatburger, you can order a "Hypocrite"—a veggie burger topped with crispy strips of bacon.
