Ah yes, the needle that broke the candle back.

First the wick punched a hole in its eye, but our hero broke the waxy wretch back.

Or perhaps they're playing tennis.

Either way, I'm going to use this in earnest.

The camel's back part is obvious, but they lost me with the needle. Anyone know what bungled idiom the first needle is supposed to be referring to?

Needles, haystacks, and straw are getting stewed in a glorious hodgepodge

It’s also a biblical quote. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven

That reminds me of a line from Young Frankenstein.

Not a Bone Apple Tea, just a couple of really messed up, mixed up cliches. Yikes, that person's mind is terrifying.

The candle back bit is bone apple tea. Then the mixed up needle causes confusion

Yeah, they’re mashing up a couple of badly mangled idioms!

Terrifying ? Yes. Do I still want to explore wtf is going on in there ? Yes.

Where’d the needle come from?!

It's hiding in the straw on the broken camel's back. It's not the last straw, though.

The needle in the camelback....the one that's hard to find..?

Somebody's stabbing camels with needles, it's fucked up

They were trying to fit them through the needle's eye and got fed up.
