Trimarian Court Bingo

The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Somebody drops the Sword of State. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance.
Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. FREE SPACE Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s).
Two Peers take a joint Associate. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names.
King Odo says that someone "rocks". Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Court is more than one hour late. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't.

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).



The Quarter - If someone isn't offended, it probably isn't funny!
