Trimarian Court Bingo

The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Somebody drops the Sword of State.
The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Two Peers take a joint Associate. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. 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. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" FREE SPACE Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Court is more than one hour late. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." 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. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s).

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).
