More questions!

Well gang,
The letters are pouring in again! I would have answered sooner but I kinda got stuck in the UFO pit for a few days. Lem brought the tow truck and got us out yesterday. I've got two fingers in a splint but I can still communicate. Here's a letter from "Lip-schmecking in Montreal" I think people in Montreal "shmeck" their lips a lot because of the dry air.
Anyway, here's the letter:
"Great stuff, Blitz, like always! Your details of The Germany have given me great hope for future travels with my young family. I'm especially interested in the sausages you mentioned -- and I'd like to know more. Perhaps there are some relevant sausage websites? Do you have any links?"
I don't know if anyone's aware, but sausages are a speciality of mine! My dad brought the Sausageuer's skill all the way from Germania to Angus Hat Saskatchewan after the big war. In fact he told us that his reason for his riding the rails for nine months of the year was to collect recipe ideas and unusual local ingredients from his long travels.
In the last years of his life, Papa would be hard at work making sausages that represented all twenty nine provinces of Canada. Each link would have some unique ingredient to make it distinct. His Toronto sausage had little bits of uranium since the city is surrounded by nuclear reactors. You don't have to refrigerate this particular flavor since it has a shelf life of over six thousand years!
The Hamilton sausage is smoked over a fire that's plastic and rubber burned by a mix of coal and crude oil. That one never dies!
Dad was renowned for his B.C. sausage which was made mostly of alfalfa mixed with Douglas Fir needles and Marmot fat. they were really popular with this weird commune about twenty miles west of here. They claimed to be descendants of the original settlers of British Columbia. The story goes that they were driven out by rabid, hairy Environmentalists and Conservationists who caused them to wander across the country
until they settled near Angus Hat. They have an annual holiday commemorating their expulsion: It begins with a senseless shooting spree wherein little animals are killed at random followed by a dance around a bonfire of old tires, culminating in the eating of Poptarts and microwave popcorn.
I could go on all day! His east coast sausage was also a favorite: a mix of seal meat, dulce and barnacle scrapings all held together in old fishnets. My mouth's watering just thinking about it.
You're welcome to come by any time and indulge in these tasty treats. Just check out my entry about Angus Hat Saskatchewan for directions.
As for this "website" thing you're asking about, I'm not really familiar with that term; We have a kind of a "web"site in the cave adjoining the UFO pit - there's a lot of big spiders in there. Is that what you were asking about? We don't keep sausages in there. Why should extraterrestrial visitors get them for free? Isn't it bad enough that our badger population is down twenty percent? Who knows what those aliens have been up to?..... kinda lost my train of thought.
Anyway, I hope this helps you. Remember folks, you can ask me anything you like as long as it's not about politics, sex, religion, how I got my scars, or what happened in the barn in seventy eight.
Keep on travellin'!

Tears came to mine eyes as I read your fantastical prose, Mr. Blitz. Our sorry world needs more of the likes of you (and less of the likes of head honchos and their ilk). Forge on, sir! Forge on!!

I want to alert readers of these travelogues by Blitz that you might want to take his tales with a grain of salt. I smell half-truths in much of what he writes, and suspect that much of it is reliant on false innuendo. Reader beware!
