...just long enough, against his better judgement, but unable to resist the call of those piercing eyes and mesmerizing eyebrows, to ask for inclusion in the UHLS...]
Can I join, please?

Hi Nite Owl!
First of all, and I don't mean to be rude, but your nickname kind of brought a smile to my face. Did you know that "otus" is a Finnish word, and it means "creature"? Sort of fitting for a Nite Owl.. 
Secondly, you're most welcome to join. You can check, your name stands nicely in the list with the lot of us. Welcome to the club!

Thanks, Rupert
No, I didn't know about the Finnish meaning. 
for that. 'Otus' is the Latin name of a genus of owls, and 'nycteus' is derived from the Greek word for 'night'. A biology study is never completely wasted...
