I think I'll cut mine up into pieces and make little boxes.

I remember seeing Mason Williams performing Classical Gas on TV (back when I watched TV!). He was on stage with a clear plastic guitar with water inside and goldfish swimming around. I always wondered how he could have possibly gotten the sound he did from that water-dampened guitar. I looked it up just now and found out the secret:

In 1970, Williams made a television appearance on a variety show, Just Friends, which reunited regulars of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. To create a visual element for his performance, he used a special playable classical plexiglass guitar built for him by Billy Cheatwood and a prop designer for ABC. For the performance, Williams filled the guitar with water and added a couple of goldfish. He then used the plexiglass guitar to finger-sync his hit version of "Classical Gas".[10]

Ah! Mystery solved after a mere 46 years.
