Probably from Portuguese root, not Spanish. Portuguese used S more than Z.
Brasilians make a point that it is spelled BRASIL, not BRAZIL.

Yeah, I bet it happens a lot in the sub-100 range, or players never even getting to their best because of injuries. We just don't hear about them.

I would not stop at getting "high". Knowing him, he did not get a few other Ibiza experiences. He is truly a good guy.

There is no way I get to waste my money going to a beach island in the Mediterranean, regardless of how beautiful it may be, when I have the Caribbean at my door.
