Alright... I keep forgetting to ask.  What is GOUT?

GOUT stands for "George's Original Unaltered Trilogy."  It refers to the 2006 DVD release which has the 2004 SE on disc 1 and the original theatrical versions on disc 2.

The acronym started because Lucasfilm advertised it as the "Original Unaltered Trilogy," but when we got it we realized it was just the 1993 Definitive Collection laserdisc masters, completely unchanged and unremastered (except there was a brand new telecine of the first shot of "Star Wars" that used the original, pre-ANH crawl) - so we referred to it as "George's" Original Unaltered Trilogy since it wasn't exactly what we had in mind for an official release of the OUT.

So the acronym became GOUT, and every time the GOUT is brought up in threads using that acronym we get nice ads that advertise "homemade" and otherwise sketchy remedies for gout, which, as rcb mentioned, is a foot condition.
