Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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).
