    My first thought is Matt Lauer is ******....

    Otherwise the opening ceremonies better pretty dam good so far...
    They infrastructure they constructed for these games is amazing considering the cost an effort. The costs must have been staggering.

    Matt Lauer is still a ******.....

    A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you're talking serious money!

    TEST QUESTION:
    If someone gave you a million dollars and told you, you spend $1000.00 a day. How long would it take to spend it?
    Now the same question for a billion dollars.
