Trimarian Court Bingo

Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
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. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). King Odo says that someone "rocks". Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test.
Court is more than one hour late. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. FREE SPACE Somebody drops the Sword of State. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun.
Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" 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..." Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. 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).
