Trimarian Court Bingo

The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award.
The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Two Peers take a joint Associate. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. FREE SPACE Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." King Odo says that someone "rocks".
The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. Somebody drops the Sword of State. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands.
Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Court is more than one hour late. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.

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).
