what to do with old junk?

I got an old morley pro series wah for next to nothing a couple of years back... We had some good times, we had some bad times, but I recently got ahold of a dunlop crybaby so my poor POS morley is now defunct. It officially crapped out on me a couple of days ago so selling it isn't an option, but I just don't have the heart to throw the thing away. So what should I do with it?
Should I frame it? Is there an interesting mod I should try? And what do you do when your stuff is beyond repair?
 
Personally, I don't really get attached to stuff like some people. I just disassembled my dream bass because I need cash. I would do something cool with it. Like light it on fire Jimi style. Or send it to me, I'll make it explode bigger than a pipe bomb and film the whole thing for you. Or I'll throw some Molotov cocktails at it or something. I'm currently gutting a Hammond organ. Once I'm done, I'm going to set a 5 gallon tank of gas under it, and shoot it with a flaming arrow, Ted Nugent style.
 
Bongo is on to something. Offer it up as a DIY project box and let one of the DIY maniacs loose on it.

I can say that the last thing to do with it is landfill. There's too much electronic junk if the fills already. Do the good deed and recycle it if you get to that point.
