Trimarian Court Bingo

Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Somebody drops the Sword of State. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear.
The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Two Peers take a joint Associate. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award.
Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. FREE SPACE Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..."
Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Court is more than one hour late. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear.

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).
