On our recent vacation to Oregon & Washington, I had a lot of time to think deep thoughts (1931.2 miles worth) & I came up with an epiphany:
What is the opposite of bright?
What do ya'll think it is? I'll let you know my answer in a few days ... let's hear what everyone else thinks.  (Yes, folks, this is definitely an "Obi-ism.")

Umm. . .is it "Obi"? Just kidding!
Really, though, are you looking for the opposite of bright like a light or bright like smart? I'm going to have to think about this. |

| Is the opposite of "bright" the weather in Washington and Oregon---aka the Pacific NothWET as you say, Obi? |

| I would agree with BFB that my answer would be dim. I think it works for both bright as in light and bright as in smart. |

Or we could go for the really simplistic and say the opposite of "bright" is ... "not bright."
That's what came into my mind first. I don't really know what that says about my mind, but it's probably not good...

Sorry, Obi, there is no way I can do that.
But I agree with "dim" as the answer that fits more than one meaning of bright. |

| I'm in the same boat with Irish on this. That's what I thought too. Please let us know if we're getting warm, Obi. Pretty please? |
I live in my own little world - but that's okay, they know me here! |

MG, check my original post for the total mileage.
Thanks to all of you sweethearts who thought it was funny! As for the rest of you, phfffffffft! Where's the rasberry/tongue-out smilie? BTW, when I mentioned this to my wife, all I got was "the look." AKA "the blue eyed laser beam glare of death."  |

I'm not surprised. I'm sure she's heard more than enough of this stuff from you and your wild mind! |

Finally saw this, Obi! ROFL!!!!  
And it's refreshing to see that someone out there has a thought process just as gloriously warped as mine!
Love it... |
