Trimarian Court Bingo

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