Joke explanation:

Au is the symbol for gold. So without the A, the cat only wants U

Goauld is an alien parasite in Stargate. That's where my brain went.

This town is big enough for the two of us

[–] Klear 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

May not be too big if two plutonium guys were to meet there though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

No, we can share

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

You should relabel it "Periodically, I want gold but the A is silent."

[–] HollowNaught 13 points 1 day ago

I thought the joke was that you just wanted gold lol

[–] PaintedSnail 17 points 1 day ago

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Was trying to figure out what urum (Aurum/gold without the A) could mean, then I remember the abbreviation...
