Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
