Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).



The Quarter - If someone isn't offended, it probably isn't funny!
