Trimarian Court Bingo

The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear.
Somebody drops the Sword of State. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. FREE SPACE "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award.
Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. 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..."
King Odo says that someone "rocks". Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. 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.

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).
