From your cartoon right there found a T word for your Tuesday's thing.
* Tuesday's tumultuous Tantrums
or
Translating Tuesday - foreign words commoinly accepted & used
( Loco, Mexican / gesundheit, German)
or
Tupperware Tuesday - Plastics.. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
~
And for meritless Monday, first thing that came into my mind was that crazy cable show on TV about a Dr. Pimple Popper - I can't believe people would actually watch 30 minutes of boils getting lanced. Maybe it's not on your cable system. No limit to weirdness

Cable tv is a wasteland. Remember when The Learning Channel and Discovery Channel were places where you could actually learn something useful? Yeah, I can barely remember it either

It's crazy, but it's also very satisfying.

Satisfying like scratching an itch ? I'd be worrying where that itch came from.
