Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
