What the heck? Beardzilla?
Where do you guys find these things?

I just search "Bear Beard" :3
One of the main reasons why I wouldn't touch the Palace of the Kings with a 10 ft pole is because of Ulfric
That reminds me of the Grinch.....
"You're a mean one, Jarl Ulfric.
You really are a N'wah!
You're as cuddly as a Spriggan,
You're as charming as a Slaughterfish.
Jarl Ulfric!
You're a naughty nightshade
With greasy purple petals!
You're a monster, Jarl Ulfric
Your heart is just like Shor's!
Your brain is full of Frostbite Spiders
You've got garlic in your black soul
Jarl Ulfric!
I wouldn't touch you
With a thirty nine and half foot broadsword!
You're a vile one, Jarl Ulfric!
You have Chaurus in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick Daedroth
Jarl Ulfric!
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick Daedroth!
You're a foul one, Jarl Ulfric!
You're a nasty wasty skeever!
Your heart is full of unwashed fur boots
Your soul is full of Riften's sewer water
Jarl Ulfric!
The three words that best describe you
Are as follows, and I quote,
"Stink, Stank, Stunk!"
You're a Rotter, Jarl Ulfric
You're the High King of Nordic sots!
Your heart's an undead tomato
Splotched with dried blood spots
Jarl Ulfric!
Your soul is an appalling loot heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful
assortment of deplorable iron items imaginable
Mangled up like your mullet!
You nauseate me, Jarl Ulfric!
With a nauseous ugly beard!
You're a crooked ugly jockey
And drive Galmar Stone Fist
Jarl Ulfric!
You're a three decker Hist-Carp
and Fly Amanita sandwich
With Nordic Sauce!"
I want to cover that beard in honey, and spread bread crumbs all over it....
Yo're getting me hungry now :V
Also OP, I love your icon

Thank you :3

The beard's not that bad. It's the braided mullet that creeps me out.
But the best facial hair award goes to... http://images.uesp.net/3/32/SR-npc-Ma%27randru-jo.jpg. Brown mustache (fu-stache?) on white fur, can't explain that. Plus, he has whiskers alongside it.
Now you mention it it, the Mullet is a bit unsettling.
And yes, that Khajiit does have a fine multicolored Fu-Stache :3
Farengar's are easy to ignore because of the hood. It took me several playthroughs before I even noticed them.
Calder, if I take him with me as a follower, has to wear some kind of helmet that hides them enough so that I don't notice them every time I look at him. If he's just hanging around Hjerim guarding my stuff... well, I can live with that, cuz I only see him when I'm in residence there. I still don't like them.
Other NPCs that have them are ones that I guess I haven't met yet, or don't spend enough time with for it to be an issue. But generally speaking, the way muttonchops are done in the game is not attractive IMO.
To be fair, I'm not a fan of them in RL either. Not many men can pull them off and still look good IMO.
I like the Mutton chops. Don't know why though

As for IRL Chops, I've found that http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__f7TJa6zgu4/S6rOYKNjijI/AAAAAAAAAYw/OsHvsclcJtU/s1600/raydorset.jpeg http://www.regrettablemusic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/mungo.jpg http://www.tabspedia.com/poze/bio/mungo_jerry_02032011.jpg http://scribbledtonality.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/untitled-2.png http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/462/dorset7kf.jpg/sr=1 http://www.xpautographs.com/8465-4834-large/ray-dorset-mungo-jerry-autograph.jpg http://i.ytimg.com/vi/cNdfRYAlXvk/0.jpg http://www.mungojerry.nl/Singles100/-12793AT.jpg http://i001.radikal.ru/1102/83/c4167ae98923.jpg. Granted, in my case, it's not so much attraction to him as it is jealously of dem chops

No, I like his beard. And the rest of his appearance for that matter.

I kid, i kid. Well, technically, it is

And you have your right to it! Just as I have my rights to hate that man
I'm with you here. So, Dawnguard adds that barber/plastic surgeon person in Riften - too bad we can't take NPCs there for a shave.

Another horrible example "what were they thinking" is Ainetach in Karthwasten. A really sweet and nice guy, same VA as Marcurio, if I'm not mistaken (which is a good thing), wouldn't look too bad - if they hadn't made him balding and with, you guessed it, muttonchops. (I don't mind bald guys, gods, I'm married to one, but what the bald guys of Skyrim haven't figured out is that saving what's left in a pony tail is an Epic Fail. Shave, please!) You're always welcome in the fangirl thread

No! You leave the Sideburns alone! I love Ainetach's glamorous facial hair!
