Trimarian Court Bingo

Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award.
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. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. King Odo says that someone "rocks".
Somebody drops the Sword of State. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. FREE SPACE Two Peers take a joint Associate. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear.
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Court is more than one hour late. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..."

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).
