Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).



Drusilla sez: Stultorum quanto status sublimior, tanto manifestior turpitudo!
