Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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!
