Trimarian Court Bingo

The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks.
Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." Two Peers take a joint Associate. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance.
King Odo says that someone "rocks". Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. FREE SPACE Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun.
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. Court is more than one hour late. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose.

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).
