I’m glad I came to the comments after placing my order and saw that they were polyester. I was able to cancel the order. That’ll teach me for assuming that “micro-flannel” means they’re made from cotton like “flannel”.
@Crystalballs 100%-GSM Twin, 100%-GSM Queen and I am not 100% sure, but probably about 100%-GSM King. (Cotton Washing and Material Tag not included in GSM)
I sprung for these, 'cuz I’m a VMP again and by golly I’m gonna get my dollerz wurth. Soon I’ll be soothingly swaddled in blue plaid; I do hope they’re cozy…
@felinefrenz I want to thank you for pointing out that forum over there. I used to listen to Clark all the time but they moved the time he broadcasts here locally. I’ve bookmarked the site.
Sorry, you lost me at “100% polyester.”
@awk It took me a couple of seconds…
@shahnm @awk - I’m still trying to catch up…give me a moment…
@awk @ Shahnm - dammit - was stupidly thinking ‘custard’…

Flannel isn’t flannel unless it’s a hundred percent cotton.
I was drenched in sweat just looking at the picture of these sheets.
Meh, did you just buy these from the Woot-off to resell here? Be honest.
If micro-flannel short for micro-polyester?
/giphy fashionable-holistic-trail
Dang it, Meh. You’ve burned me on too many sheet-y deals. Not today, Satan! (Maybe tomorrow.)
omg. “Politics” is priceless!
Flannel sheets? I live in Texas. Winter is over.
@hchavers VMP since June 2015, eh? And…the untimeliness surprises you?
No sheet, Sherlock.
The last picture reminds me of this quote:
“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.”
― Oscar Wilde
Are these the exact sheets listed on Amazon? The link lacks a “for similar” notation, but I don’t see the same color/pattern options.
@Rowsdower No, you’re right, it is ‘similar.’ I updated the comp.
So fugly hot polyester sheets are back in style, good to know.

@daleyshow my condolences on your or your hubbys leg hairs
Flannel is USUALLY measured in ounces or grams per square meter (GSM) instead o thread count. So what’s the number on these 100% polyesters?
@Crystalballs 100%-GSM Twin, 100%-GSM Queen and I am not 100% sure, but probably about 100%-GSM King. (Cotton Washing and Material Tag not included in GSM)
How much they weigh, not a clue.
Cozy
Flannel micro-flannel… redundant?
@tmwest87 yes. We should work to wipe out, get rid of, and abolish redundant phrases.

@tmwest87 Not only redundant, but tautologous and totally repetitive

@UncleVinny how are you a VMP “again”? I thought they discontinued new VMP after canceling an old one?
@elpepe the Casemates Kickstarter let a few of us sneak back onto the Mediocre rolls.
@UncleVinny don’t forget to buy wine! It costs more to ship so better vmp value!
@jml326 Yessssss! They’ll regret the day they saw the whites of my Very Mediocre Person eyes!
Wow. Haven’t heard Luang Prabang mentioned since the Dave van Ronk song sung by Patrick Skye on his album Songs that Made America Famous.
I just cannot understand how anyone with leg hair can even consider polyester sheets
@neveraging The ones sold are to hairless leg homes
@neveraging seriously, uh oh. My hubby is basically a bear. This purchase will be interesting…
Can I cut these up to use as soothing swabs for my Bunghole?
@Bumplepimp It’s a free country, Bumplepimp. For now.
@Bumplepimp I think you asked that last time Meh sold sheets. As usual, the answer is yes.
Materials: 100% Polyester
No EFFEN WAY. Cotton or death by electrocution or melty fire. No thanks, just cotton for me.
/giphy static electricity
@TheMonkeyKing True. I’ve made the mistake of buying this type of crap twice before. Never again!
Micro-flannel made from pure petroleum? I wouldn’t let my dog sleep on these, and I don’t even have a dog…
I purchased two sets of the sheets through Clark Howard deals and they said free shipping and MEH charged me $5 for shipping
@felinefrenz It doesn’t say free shipping, it says: From $21 shipped.
That means the less expensive $16 + $5 is $21 shipped.

Cal king?
@2many2no No
It isn’t flannel when it is 100% Polyester. I like a sheet with a little poly blend - but not 100%.
Meh…good luck with these.
