Trimarian Court Bingo

The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. King Odo says that someone "rocks". The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.
Court is more than one hour late. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear.
The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. FREE SPACE Somebody drops the Sword of State. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance.
Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household.
Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows.

Instructions: Pay attention in court! If you see or hear something described in one of the boxes, mark off that box. If you mark off five boxes in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally -- true diagonal, not "sort of" diagonal), jump up and shout "Bingo!" (and pray that the Crown has a sense of humor).



Drusilla sez: Stultorum quanto status sublimior, tanto manifestior turpitudo!
