General Chat / Free Association

I was having a discussion with one of my friends yesterday, and strangely, the conversation took a detour on a route completely different than what it started on. My friend asks, "How did we get to talking about this?" I say, "It's called free association. That's when you inadvertantly think of something based on what was said (or thought) previously. Or something like that." I then gave the example of pigs:
Pigs make me think of bacon;
Bacon makes me think of breakfast;
Breakfast makes me think of pancakes;
Pancakes make me think of syrup;
Syrup makes me think of Canada;
Canada makes me think of Kevin Enns (unfortunately).
You see how the original idea (pigs) shifted through various stages and ended up as a completely different idea (Kevin Enns).
I figured we could make a game out of it. I'll start with a word, and let's see where it takes us... (One word/idea per post please!)
Cheese.
