Trimarian Court Bingo

The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award.
The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun.
Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." FREE SPACE 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.
Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Court is more than one hour late. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Two Peers take a joint Associate. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks.

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).
