I used to put the strings of the guitar against my neck and talk, such that
my throat vibrated the strings. It was either that string vibration or the
actual sound of my voice getting picked up by microphonic pickups that
resulted in sound, not sure, but it worked alright. Hmm, don't think I've
tried that since I was about 14, maybe I should give it another go. 

Last time I saw Buckethead he was using a star wars toy to do this. Wookie
yells, yoda, "use the force Luke," it was great, perverted nostalgia.
