One of the best things about dormant holiday weekends is the gems that idle surfing bring you to. For me this post-Christmas (and, for some, Boxing Day) morning, it was CBS News’ profile of the Chateau Marmont, one of Hollywood’s most storied hotels — and one of my favorite goofy nicknames.

I am hoping to do the same for “Shmarmont.”
