Here we've been, counting down to the O.C. manually, like suckas, when this exists. A digital countdown keychain? I work at Fox and I didn't even get hooked up with this hottness. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to content myself to basking in the glory of the giant premiere-ad display off the 405 South. Seth Cohen, you make the drive to Torrance bearable.

And now, the number 6 reason OandU is amped about the return of The OC:

6. We try to start fistfights on our own, but we're lacking that Newport flair, that certain je ne sais quois that turns a regular verbal altercation into an all-out brawl. You know, like at a restuarant, or a debutante ball, or a model home or whatever.

7. We're sooo tired of discussing people's "problems" and "lives" during our imaginary watercooler time.

8. One word. Brows.

9. New trends! Our wifebeaters are threadbare and our pointy flats all bent and scuffed.

10. Our North Shore viewing parties never really took off.
