Back in the day there was a TV series by the name Green Acres that, according to teh wiki, ran from 1965 to 1971, and when I was a kid in the late 70s early 80s it was being re-run all the time. It was, you know, a terrible show, but we didn't have so many channels in those days so I was exposed to it repeatedly.
One bit I remember is they had a car breakdown and sitcom stuff happened and there was this bit where someone asked what was wrong and got the somewhat confused answer "oh, he blew his head basket" to which he responded "he must be in terrible pain!" As I recall, they make a replacement head gasket by cooking a giant rectangular pancake and cutting out circular pancakes leaving a big head-gasket-like pancake, and I believe I mentioned already that this was a terrible show.
Point is, I saw this when I was like 10 and now like 40 years later it's still firmly in my brain, and every time I see someone disassembling an engine on youtube and pulling off the heads and looking at the head gasket, I remember "he blew his head basket/Oh, he must be in terrible pain"!
Great job, brain! Keep up the good work remembering important things!
