Trimarian Court Bingo

Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!" Person called before the Crown has to be coaxed to come forward far enough to kneel on the pillows. Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name.
Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. Earl Benen disrupts court with his madcap hijinks. Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. The crowd does that stupid "Oooh... Ahhh..." thing when a scroll is displayed.
The Crown calls someone up to give them an award, and starts with "You've been bad..." Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. FREE SPACE Two Peers take a joint Associate. Court is more than one hour late.
Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." The Crown gives three or more awards to their own retainers and/or household. Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony. The Court Herald announces somebody whose name is a bad pun.
Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. Somebody drops the Sword of State.

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).
