Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
