Trimarian Court Bingo

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

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 - If someone isn't offended, it probably isn't funny!
