Curby Bucket And An Army Of Recyclers

This clip from the 4th of July parade is strangely mesmerizing. First there are prison guards, then a fire truck, then a seemingly endless parade of recyclers, who do a dance with their official City of Philadelphia recycling bins.

Then Curby Bucket — the official mascot of recycling, who is called “Kirby Puckett” several times by the hosts — comes out and stands there or something.

Redlasso video after the jump. (Found this on the Redlasso RSS feed; if it’s from some blog just let me know and I’ll link it.)

    Curby was hanging around the corner of 20th and Arch Sts all throughout my piano set last Friday. Lent itself to my idiotic repeating of the line, “Now, where’s that huge blue bucket I ordered over 30 minutes ago???”

    Sorry I have that beat with the “Can-Can” girls I photographed at the July 4th parade in Haddonfield NJ; They are midway down after the recyleble kids and before the pothole people.
