Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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 - Be afraid. Be very afraid.
