Three Cheers for Tucker!

My sister (Teague) is married to Tucker. Tucker is currently serving his second tour of duty in Iraq which is stinky for two reasons. One, he's in Iraq. In case you have been trapped under a log in the woods for many years, keeping yourself alive by eating bark and moss and juicy succulent grubworms, you should know that Iraq is not a good place for army men to live or visit. Second, Tucker and Teague were just married in June. So boo on that. But wait! This post is about three cheers, not two boos!

Cheer number one: Tucker is out protecting our freedom! Hooray!
Cheer number two: Tucker is married to my sister! Hooray!
Cheer number three: Tucker is a friend of monkeys! Hip Hip Hooray! (He even had his own tail removed to make Kamork feel more comfortable about his own lack of a tail. What a guy!)

So remember Tucker in your prayers this year and if you want to send him presents shoot me an email! Tucker, like all monkeyfriends, enjoys presents. Here is a photo of Tucker enjoying a common military snack, a CRE (Cat Ready to Eat).



So, how did Teague and Tucker meet? I'm glad you asked. It is a story full of destiny, romance, and of course, Kamork.
After college Teague published the critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful novel, "Num Num the Wonder Sloth." Teague wanted the paperback version to have a unique jacket design and asked Kamork if he knew any paperback novel jacket designers. It just so happened that Kamork had some contacts in the Army who were regular clients of Kamorkbrand. Seems the military couldn't get enough of Kamorkbrand Soft Furry Training Bullets. Tucker was working deep beneath Fort Hood in a top secret lab that made ordinary items camouflaged. Tucker had made a breakthrough with his camouflaged toilet paper, but secretly desired to camouflage paperback novels. Kamork arranged for the two to meet for dinner at his restaurant, KFC (Kamork's Fried Chicken). The two connected immediately and were married twelve hours later at Showbiz Pizza. The animatronic gorilla performed the ceremony and then Kamork blew all the complimentary wedding tokens on Ms. Pac Man.

Tucker and Kamork remain good friends, even after Kamork superglued Tucker's fingers to his head
