Custom calendars

:::Auguste Comte's reform ``Calendrier Positiviste'' dedicated the new thirteenth month of Final to the abstract concept of industry, and the concrete person of Marie François Xavier Bichat

Somebody needs to write a “Calendrier Negativiste” that dedicates its months to abstract persons, concrete concepts, and plastic pals who're fun to be with. By “need” I of course mean “such a thing would be amusing if executed well,” by “well” I mean “incongruous and unexpected," and by "somebody" I mean “one of us, because who else would care?”

For extra geeky points, the months should be configured such that they're equally usable on Earth, Saturn, and beneath the ice of Europa where the natively-evolved Jamescameronoid super-turtles are barely aware of their orbit about Jupiter, let alone Sol.
