With the Vancouver Olympics descending upon the world in mere hours, everyone's abuzz about one thing: Is Johnny Weir a fruit?? What's the Flame Cauldron look like?? Well, helpful and frequently hilarious commenter lobstr has provided some photos!

He tells us of the artful snaps:

I had the chance to fly up and check it out before the games n' accompanying shitstorm of crowds begin — and so a couple of days ago [I went] behind the scenes where I snappy-snapped some undercover pics of them fire-testing the Olympic Cauldron ... They had it shrouded behind a huge covered scaffolding, peep it! ("Boiler alert!" lawl!)

Usually the Cauldron is kept a secret until the big opening ceremonies, but here it is, in all its phallic flame-belching glory. O, Canada indeed!
