I worked with a Cuban chap who put bananas and pineapple in his guac, though the Cubanos have a different name for it which I can't recall. It was really good.
My favorite extra ingredient: bacon (unless you insist on authenticity). Two strips per avocado; less if it's really thick. Cook it until it's just firm, not crisp, and chop it up. If nobody's looking I've been know to toss in a wee splash of the drippings too.

Sometimes it's the simple stuff that makes a difference.
If you like your Guac chunky - I find that one of those cheap potato-mashers to be the best readily-available tool for the job:
-Look for one with thick wire that weaves back-and-forth in several lazy "s"es
-Avoid the ones with "waffle-iron" holes
Work your onion / cilantro / diced peppers / garlic into it while mashing it. This avoids over-mashing it into green-slime.
Also, be sure to use a non-reactive bowl (glass, ceramic, or plastic).
