Trimarian Court Bingo

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



The Quarter - Laugh while you can, monkey boy!
