Don't mess up perfectly good fireworks. They don't contain nearly enough powder to do anything with.

You might be able to do something with the stars, but I don't figure you for a shell builder if you're here asking about ripping open roman candles.

Those things are often good for some fuse, if anything.

The first thing you'll need to do is call around and find a good local hobby shop. Ask if they sell those glue on fake beard kits. It's very crucial you get one of the good kits.

Next, follow instructions on this site:http://www.sikhnet.com/s/tyingturbans

Then, follow this sites instructions on the next construction:

Next you're going to need to paint the roman candles red, and wire them together, preferably around you're midsection.

learn a few lines of arabic here:

A good tan might help too.

upon completion, promptly walk into your nearest police station or government building, and repeat a few phrases you've learned. also, be sure to include the word "infidels" every few lines or so.

You'll get very little out of them. Just use them like they're meant to be used.

As a moderator I am required to say that that isn't funny ...

Being me however, I am laughing my ass off, though that's probably the merit of a fine bottle of merlot :D

why don't you tape them all together in a bundle, all pointing the same way.

it would be like a fire work gatling gun.

Ok a side note, wrapping a ton of those crackling roman candles together (all pointing in the same direction) and lighting them off at the same time looks great...

Even better when you have like 6 different bundles set up like that so the paths cross in the sky...

Then set them all off via an electric firing system! Really beautiful!!

You could make a mine out of them. But if you have to ask how then you probably shouldn't. And I've seen the bundled thing, and it does look really good.

As already suggested; bundle 'em and make a cake...

I'd tape them together at the bottom, and wedge in a load of cardboard between them at the top before wrapping tape around the top, that way you'll get a better coverage on the sky.

Remember to make sure they don't tip over once they start firing, you can tape 'em to a stake you've hammered into the ground.

Or, you could make a rack that'd hold the Roman candles in a "V" formation and then chain fuse 'em with quickmatch.

Me and some buddys used to rip them open, take out the shots, stand around a fire and throw them all in at once. Then try to dodge them.
