  You Can Change The Spelling, But...The Z Ocean Hotel, formerly known as The Regent and home to Table 8 Restaurant, has opened Zushi Flirt -- formerly Flirt Sushi, which went out of business rather quickly after opening at Washington Avenue and 12th Street three years ago. Owner Marko Radisic still has his original Flirt Sushi in Allendale, New Jersey, and the menu at Zushi will be the same. This means rolls with names like Sexyshimi, Viagra, and Foreplay. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but

  via Just Making ConvoDon't have Twitter yet but want to make your drunken cell phone-written ramblings available to the public? Well, luckily Txts from Last Night is here. The site collects weird, user-submitted text messages from anonymous sources only identified by their area code. I don't know how you all have 305 cell phones, but Miami-Dade is well represented on the site. A few of our favorites: (305): If a girl is wearing Ed Hardy from head to toe, does that make her a douchebage

• Celebrate Sailor Jerry's Tattoo Legacy Tomorrow With a Documentary, Jacuzzi Boys, and Free Booze!

  ​Here's a last-minute heads up: Tomorrow night is the local screening of Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry, the new documentary about the life and times of the tattoo legend. Born Norman Keith Collins, he became the go-to ink man in Hawaii, where he developed his singular style on the bodies of hard-living military men. Jerry introduced real artistic finesse to tattooing, using bold colors, clean lines, and Japanese influences he picked up thanks to his locale.The documentary itself is based on archival

  Ed Hardy must die.​The Ed Hardy T-shirt. Nothing is a bigger symbol of douchebaggery in clubland than it. It's a faux-tattoo armor for those too wimpy to get real ones.

Oh, and if you're wearing Affliction you have two strikes against you: you're poor and you're a douchebag.In a what-took-us-so-long moment, Vagabond's Thursday night party (((Shake))) pays tribute to the eyesore with its "Uber Exclusive VIP Halloween" party.
