Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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 - It's not just for paper anymore!
