According to the online fireworks store I just checked out, $3.40 will get you 144. Sooo, you would need 70 packages at $3.40 each. Final cost: $238 (does not include TTL, shipping and any other fees)

It looked like plain old cannon fuse to me.

Accent????? Sounded just like normal to me


I'm still told I sound like an import and have been in the south for near 30 years.

Doesnt matter what he used for a fuse.. you could just put a whole bunch in a bundle toss on some gas n light it for similar results.. most of them ignited in the fire of themselves.

Still, he gets an A+ for doin something no one else is dumb enuf to do!

Gotta love them sideways ones..
