Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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 - We're more fun than a barrel full of seneschals!
