And Then Along Comes Mary

There's a word game members of SPASTIC play whilst lounging about the club (and interest in the baccarat table has waned). It's a simple word-association game, where play passes about the room, each person having to come up with a word or phrase incorporating a part of the previous word or phrase. Associations can be literal or soundalikes. The object is to get from an established beginning word to an ending word. Here's a simple one:

TASK: Get from BLACK to WHITE.

JET BLACK
BLACK SABBATH
REMEMBER THE SABBATH AND KEEP IT HOLY
HOLY DIVER
DIVER DOWN
WATERSHIP DOWN
DOWN ON YOUR LUCK
LUCKY CHARMS
PRINCE CHARMING
PRINCE OF EGYPT
EGYPTIAN COTTON
COTTON MOUTH
SMALLMOUTH BASS
BASS ALE
HARP ALE
HARPO MARX
KARL MARX
KARL ROVE
RANGE ROVER
RED ROVER
RED CHINA
FINE CHINA
CHINA WHITE

I don't like how the example ends on a drug reference, but that's the way the game is... it goes where it goes. Take a shot at it. Do Black to White, or pick another. How about:
from HOT to COLD
from SUGAR to SPICE
from NEW to OLD
or, a variation is to get back to where you started, like:
from ORANGE to ORANGE

Have fun!
