Trimarian Court Bingo

The Court Herald mispronounces somebody's name. Somebody drops the Sword of State. King Odo says that someone "rocks". Somebody says "Busted!" to the recipient of an award. Someone uses the phrase, "I beg a boon!"
Somebody makes a completely inaudible presentation to the Crown. 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 Crown gives out no awards with the word "Argent" in their names. The Order of the White Scarf hold a faux Knighting ceremony.
Royal Retainer picks his or her nose. Female retainer wearing a dress is holding a spear. FREE SPACE Two Peers take a joint Associate. 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. Somebody does court schtick which is apparently supposed to be funny... but it isn't. Someone who kneels before the Thrones really should have been wearing underwear. Yet another Kingdom office changes hands. Yet another guild is formed with great pomp and circumstance.
Every single Herald comes up to "elevate" one of their members for passing a test. The Queen has a triskele somewhere on her garb. "Anno Societatis" pronounced in more than one way by Court Herald(s). Award of Arms scroll begins with something other than the phrase "Praiseworthy are those..." Clothing fashions are visibly influenced by a recent movie.

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).
