Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).

Drusilla sez: Stultorum quanto status sublimior, tanto manifestior turpitudo!
