Trimarian Court Bingo

King Odo says that someone "rocks". Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Somebody drops the Sword of State. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun.
Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s).
Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Two Peers take a joint Associate. FREE SPACE Court is more than one hour late. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands.
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear.
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 Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie.

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).
