Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
