Trimarian Court Bingo

Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Two Peers take a joint Associate. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names.
Court is more than one hour late. 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. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. FREE SPACE Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. "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..." Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose.
Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. 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).
