Trimarian Court Bingo

Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Two Peers take a joint Associate. 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. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..."
Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. King Odo says that someone "rocks". "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands.
Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" FREE SPACE Court is more than one hour late. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks.
Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.
The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. 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 drops the Sword of State.

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!
