Louvre It or Leave It (Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte)

From TheKolWiki

You step off of the stairs and through a doorway, and find yourself in a sunny and green (though oddly low-resolution) park. A number of bright and cheerful people are standing around or lounging on the grass. You approach a woman with a monkey on a string (and the largest behind you've ever witnessed) and ask her what the occasion is.

"Sailboat races," she says, pointing out at the river. "And stop staring at my bustle."

You watch the sailboats for a moment, delighted that you finally get to see them. Suddenly, a huge tentacle bursts out of the water with a noise not so much a splash as a tearing, grabs one of the boats and vanishes back underneath the water.

"Does that happen often?" you ask the woman.

"Not so much, no."

With a shrug, you head across the park and back to the stairs.

[edit] References

• A Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte is the most well-known of Georges-Pierre Seurat's work. While the actual picture looks very little like the adventure icon (for obvious detail reasons), it is a textbook example of pointillism, and does feature a lady with a leashed monkey and a very large bustle. It currently resides at the Art Institute of Chicago.
• The appearance, behavior, and sudden disappearance of the tentacle comprise a bizarre non-sequitur, part of an aborted idea by Riff. It may or may not also refer to the recent movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, in which the Kraken eats a boat in a similar manner.
• The line about finally getting to see the sailboats is a reference to the Kevin Smith movie, Mallrats, wherein a character named Willam spends most of the movie trying to see the sailboat in an autostereogram picture. Furthermore, as this encounter is based on a famous work of pointillism (a style involving the use of many dots to form a coherent picture), it is worth noting that probably the most widely-known autostereograms are the "random-dot" autostereograms found in the Magic Eye books.
