Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
