Stringer Bell's Space Pizza Delivery Service

A lot of people think this is a scene from the short-lived British sci fi series Space Precinct, but they're wrong. This is actually a scene from season 9 of The Wire. In season 9, David Simon has turned his scrutinizing eye for injustice towards SPACE CORRUPTION, and also Stringer Bell isn't dead because he was cryogenically frozen and in the future he uses his community college credits to transfer to space community college, get his space diploma, and use his space-business acumen to open up a chain of intergalactic pizza parlors because he got his space money right and it's time to leave this space street life to these youngblood space street soldiers. (Thanks for the tip, Tom.)

Sure it's strange for you US people but think how strange it was for UK people like myself. Much as I remember Space Precinct, I don't remember him being in it probably because there wasn't exactly anything to remember but my main memory of Pre-Stringer Bell Stringer Bell was the brilliant but never remembered UK vampire series Ultraviolet. For this reason I spent much of The Wire wondering when he was going to kick some vampire arse (that's ass to you and most of us too). Sadly he never did. That being said, even after five series, I still suspect that McNulty or Omar might be into getting their kicks from drinking blood.
