Trimarian Court Bingo

The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. 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. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..."
Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. FREE SPACE The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose.
Court is more than one hour late. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" Somebody drops the Sword of State.
Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear.

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).
