Paul-

Thanks for the report!

"The scores are on their on"? My best guess is that it's a reference to the tally of drinks, as in "chalking up the score" by the bartender. "The scores are on their on" might then mean that no one is keeping score or is long past caring. I'll drink to that!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
