Trimarian Court Bingo

Audible laughter at an inappropriate time from the naughty Peers standing in the back. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear.
Court is more than one hour late. The Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Two Peers take a joint Associate. FREE SPACE The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance.
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. Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. King Odo says that someone "rocks".
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed. The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test.

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 - None asked nor given!
