Meet Barnslig.



Barnslig is from IKEA. Barnslig is Swedish. Actually, Barnslig's full name (on his butt tag), is "Barnslig Kamel", which actually translates as "childish camel" (according to here, anyway). I was thinking of calling him Barney, but... well, there's too much semiotical baggage around that one.

So Barnslig it is.

Barnslig has a very special place in my life.

You may notice that Barnslig is a very unique camel; to wit, he seems to have a case of Camel Pox. Since - unless pretty strong dye is used- his spots probably aren't going anywhere anytime soon, he really has a case of chronic Camel Pox.

So Barnslig and I have something in common- chronic health issues.

Therefore, Barnslig also has a very special responsibility in my life. Every time I am hurting or depressed or angry about dealing with a chronic pain condition- with no health insurance, no less- I will be turning to Barnslig. Hopefully, Barnslig will reciprocate, because I imagine being the only camel with chronic Camel Pox can't be easy. And I don't think he has insurance, either.

So, meet Barnslig.

It's awesome that you used the phrase "semiotical baggage" when talking about a stuffed camel. :)
