Trimarian Court Bingo

Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Two Peers take a joint Associate.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. FREE SPACE Court is more than one hour late. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance.
The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks.
The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows.

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).
