Anyone have a France T-Shirt?

Monday I leave for an annual Petanque Tournament and in years past it was obvious who was on Team France versus Team UK-- anyone with a posh accent, the latter. This year we have an addition - Team Andorra - thanks to a stupid 16 hour excursion that some of us refused to endure. Since they didn't get their passports stamped (while my aunt and I shopped and sunned un a beautifully small Languedoc town), they all got Andorra Tshirts.

So, I need a France T-shirt. Something with an Eiffel Tower, the French flag in sequins, or similar. Do you have one I can borrow or do you know where I can get one before Monday?

    Oui oui, tres bien, but I was hoping to find something local so as to avoid potential mail disasters. I suppose I could send it directly to my aunt's house.......... but $22 for a cute shirt I will wear exactly once? Grr.

    Alamo flags in the Seaport has mini flags of all countries - maybe you can purchase a small one and sew it on to an existing t-shirt. I am heading that way shortly - if you want me to check to see if they have one and if you give me the amount you want to spend I can check and/or pick it up for you.

    If they have a bedazzled one for less than $10, sure! Thanks!

    Oddly enough, we *do* have one of these:

    I know. Doesn't help. And I'll explain later. :-s

    I have matching Eiffel Tower cufflinks and tie clip. I guess that probably doesn't help either.

    Sadly no, and they would likely be lost on the court, and then you would be mad at me.

    Jeffrey, ahem, are you a) from Texas or b) a Bush follower? If yes to either, I need to confiscate the puppy before he is mentally damaged.

    Heh, neither, but the wife is from Texas and a bit of a francophile so it was given to her as a joke.

    Rest assured that Cyrano's brain is not in danger of being warped, other than by the odd humor thing. That seems to run rampant around here.
