Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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 - Zesty!
