Yeah, he was an inmate.

Well, it wasn't prison where this happened, just jail. Most of us were there only a couple weeks or months, depending on if we were fighting our case, or about to be sent to prison. However, in this case, the guy getting the canica was actually heading to prison. Maybe it's harder to get dick dominoes in prison than jail? I don't know why someone would want it who isn't going to be having sex with women -- lots of guys had them, and they would talk about how it drives women mad with sex ecstasy. They also said it makes anal sex "impossible" but, I don't know.

I was there for the experience and the promise of a warm Dr. Pepper.

I might have just used the term "throwing" myself when being a silly little goose to my girlfriend. My friends and I have a gaming night, and I jokingly said we were "throwing bones" when she once asked me what games we play. I also made a craps-throwing motion.

She then corrected me that "bones" are dominos, not dice.

When I was in jail I once helped a guy get a domino shoved into his penis. They call them canicas; basically someone gets hold of a domino, goes into the shower where there is grip tape, and they spend days sanding that motherfucker down. Using the grip tape that's probably covered in fungus, piss, and semen. Then when the domino is sanded down into the shape of a heart or diamond, three of us go into a bathroom stall. The first guy sits down on the stall, the second guy (me) holds his dick over a toilet paper roll, and a third guy makes two cuts using a razor blade. You have to cut in two spots to let the air out. The domino is shoved into the slit, and it sort of sits between skin layers on the top of the penis. Super glue seals the cuts. Then you just pray, pray, pray, pray you don't get a staph infection.

edit: I got a soda out of the deal

Anthropologists have documented that inserting objects under the penile skin, as part of cultural traditions, has been practised for centuries in the Asia and Pacific region. Men in North and Southeast Asia have a long history of inserting bells, balls and other irregular objects under the skin of their penis. In Australia, some Aboriginal men have been reported to observe a tradition of placing small stones inside penile incisions.
Some men believe that penile implants enhance the sexual pleasure and make them unforgettable to women, and in some cases, discourage men from practicing sodomy

So now that I've read a dozen guesses about its origin, what does "parting shot" even mean in, like, a modern context?

I honestly feel like I've heard the phrase but never paid any attention to it. I'm guessing it has to do with shooting children with a bow and arrow, based on etymological guesswork.
