Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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 - If someone isn't offended, it probably isn't funny!
