Trimarian Court Bingo

The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Two Peers take a joint Associate. Somebody drops the Sword of State. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household.
Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. FREE SPACE Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie.
Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." King Odo says that someone "rocks". "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Court is more than one hour late.
Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose.

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).
