Trimarian Court Bingo

Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. 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. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!"
Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. Somebody drops the Sword of State. Court is more than one hour late. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.
Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." FREE SPACE The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back.
Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance.

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).
