Trimarian Court Bingo

The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Somebody drops the Sword of State. 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. Court is more than one hour late. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!"
The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. Two Peers take a joint Associate. FREE SPACE Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks.
The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test.
Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear.

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).
