This year, downtown revelers will watch a fleur-de-lis, instead of the Post-K paper-mache gumbo pot, drop in Jackson Square.
I hear it is black and gold, nine feet high by six feet wide, and will ascend a 25-foot pole to the top of Jax Brewery before dropping amidst a backdrop of fireworks over the Mississippi River.
The fluckin' fleur-de-lis--why don't we just drop it?
It seems there's no stopping it. We've so empowered this arbitrary symbol that it now has a life of its own. It's about time there's a super-hero version, don't you think?

fleur-de-lis-étonnant?
I wonder what this guy http://www.drgourmet.com/ would say about dropping, or rather not dropping the gumbo.
