Trimarian Court Bingo

The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Somebody drops the Sword of State. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s).
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names.
The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. FREE SPACE The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. Two Peers take a joint Associate.
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. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Court is more than one hour late. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. 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).

The Quarter - Forsooth. Forsooth.
