Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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 - Forsooth. Forsooth.
