Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
