Trimarian Court Bingo

Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. 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. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks.
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. FREE SPACE Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Somebody drops the Sword of State.
The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Two Peers take a joint Associate. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb.

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).
