Trimarian Court Bingo

Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. 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.
Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Somebody drops the Sword of State.
Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. FREE SPACE Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.
Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..."
Two Peers take a joint Associate. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Yet another Kingdom office changes hands.

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).
