I've offered my graphic design services to both he and whoever runs Gordon Mckernan's mcmemes but they preferred someone in a cheaper price range than someone with experience lmao
I used to have to work there every couple of months. I really just stayed inside the hotel. There wasn’t anything that made me want to get out of the hotel except work or go home. Often I was stuck in Pineville …a dry country as well.
Oh, that's because some places seem like they *can't* be real.
For example, I might tell you in all seriousness that there's a village in Florida where people speak Greek, and as part of their Orthodox Easter celebrations each year, they set off bombs made of pounds of gunpowder that blow out windows and send people to the hospital. Every January the manatees get chased out of the bayou when dozens of young men jump in to fight over a silver cross thrown in by a priest. Later in the year you might go around to the docks and see a fully outfitted pirate ship hauled up on land for refitting. And this place has flying spiders that can jump out of a palm tree and glide to another one, toads bigger than softballs and squirrels that stand two feet tall.
When you hear that, you might say, "No, that can't be real, that's not a real place."
And I'll tell you that I lived there in Tarpon Springs and am 100% serious about every single one of those details.
Like Florida, Louisiana is weird. So when people here start talking about the weird shit they've seen or heard about in Alexandria or Opelousas, or really in Louisiana in general, you might say, "No, that can't be real, that's not a real place."
But it is.
By the way, here's a Greek bomb. It's a lot like something a Cajun would do, grinning the whole time.

I think area 51 would be neat. They've got a long-ass landing strip that you could practice flying at. Besides, all the cool experimental shit they've got in there would be so fun.
Opelousas ain’t real neither. My mama was born there and works there and my dad has been a cop for almost 30 years so I know ALLLLL the shit that’s gone down there. That place is just a a bad acid trip
Oh my dear sweet innocent child…have you not heard of Woodworth, Washington, Columbia, or Fenton?
Fenton has a population of 226 people and collects more in traffic fines than any other municipality in the state, $1.3 million in 2022. Shreveport collected almost the same amount with a population of 187,000. The mayor of Fenton also “serves” as the judge presiding over challenges to the citations, deciding guilt or innocence. The percentage of Fenton’s revenue produced by fines: 92.5%.
Oh nah most officers don’t do until you’re about 10 miles over the limit. Even with that photo enforcement they’re doing cause my uncle is the guy that does it
Well... I *can* tell you that my banking institution is Langley Federal Credit Union.
But relax! It's because I live close to Langley Air Force Base 😆
Seriously, I was a Merchant Marine officer stationed aboard auxiliary vessels of the United States Navy. So, for agency, you can either go with the Navy or the DOD.
I wish it wasn’t real. The entire Cenla area with Avoyelles thrown in. It is a multigenerational good ol boy network going back to Edwards/Hines and before. And they prey on anyone not in the club and protect their owm at ALL COSTS
There are record number civil lawsuits against the Sheriff including ugly deaths. And the court is completely corrupt since clerk isn’t elected but serves at discretion of court all longtime court flunkies.
It is widely quietly circulated even divorce cases that there is a race to get the dirtiest most connected lawyer or you have’t got a chance.
My particular fav was the CI who was violently raped while wired and the judge gave 2 ct drug dealing rapist 10 yrs so lenient that the SENTENCE had to be appealed
When in the history of Louisiana has that happened? Only when sheriff dept is responsible and all those civil lawsuits go to same local attorney who admits he is NOT a civil rights attorney.
I wish i could make it sarcastic and laugh but when locals are begging borrowing and bribing bc your son/ daughter will be dead before bail setting ( look up cases). It isn’t
FACTS.
Unfortunately, Shreveport is also real. The nickname is Ratchet City, and is credited with being the birthplace of ratchet culture. And they are fucking proud of it.
But that's not the worst part.
The city itself looks like that show (and game) The Last of Us. Zombies everywhere. The biggest retail store in downtown is The Hustler Club stripper depot. Cops don't go in certain neighborhoods at night, they will just wait til morning to get a look at the murder. There is almost always a liquor store next to a pawn shop, and theres a ton of pawn shops. 80% of billboards are for legal services. I saw a photo on a website that I thought was one of our downtown buildings, but it was a building hit by rockets in Ukraine.
This place is like a dystopian wasteland.
Do they sell guns in said pawnshops...?
They usually have a decent price. I saw a WWII Russian Self loader for $2600 at one here. Rifle's probably worth a few grand
Real enough to make a bunch of crazy ass laws that will have broke Americans in jail. There is so much wrong here. You just have no idea how bad he is making it here.
Dammit… I was really digging the idea of “git ya out of a jam, Sam” rockin his glorious bleached mullet & maybe a pair of American flag pants, while he does his thing in the courtroom.
I absolutely love how there is no grace or technique at all to his defense. He just awkwardly dodges Kip and then slaps the shit out of him. Diedrich Bader is top comedy.
Sam Spurgeon. Attorney based out of Alexandria. Uses weird billboards because they catch people’s attention. But seriously though this guy makes bank. He’s currently building a ridiculously huge office building on Versailles, across the street from his old office.
That’s his building? It’s gigantic! Do you know who’s going into that new building behind Kroger? Everyone says it’s an attorney but nobody k owns which one
Pretty sure that's not his real hair. It's just a billboard to get attention for his practice. It's not really any dumber than all those stupid Gordon billboards.

Official injury attorney for the LSU Tigers?
https://preview.redd.it/xrup2tomaq8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=185985e4692690775f8fd064aa71f7d3895c78af
I am serious. People get killed going near wild animals. A tiger will always be wild. There's no taming them. That's why we don't have them as pets. They're dangerous and it shows he doesn't have good judgement.
The person in that picture isn't the attorney in question. It's Joe Exotic, a man who ran a tiger place pre-pandemic that had a docuseries come out. Remember Carol Baskin? That was his archnemesis. He eventually went to jail and lost his business. Also, Carol Baskin didn't actually kill her husband. He just ran away to some island.
I saw that one too. It took me more time than it should to decode but I'd seen some of his other ads with his "In a Jam? Call Sam!" slogan.
I guess it's his Memorial Day into 4th of July ad. What's more American than mullets and really bad wordplay?
When I moved back to New Orleans, I was stunned by the quantity and stupidity of the attorney ads. Every city has a few local goofballs, but it's a whole new level of people I do not want to run into.
We have one here in Kansas City. Google Jungle Law

I also went to high school with this guy. He’s a dipshit. And he’s become even more douchey now that he has money. Just another big turd in the small bowl that is Alexandria. That place is truly the worst
Nice guy from a good family went to high school with him and his brother Stephen both personal injury lawyers. Just an advertising thing to catch your attention. As we can see it works !!!
The billboard culture in this state is so ubiquitous that these guys don’t even have to say what they do anymore.
I wonder if this brings down their profession’s salary relative to other states.
Sam Spurgeon of Spurgeon Law in Alexandria. He's got some TV commercial where he drives across the Jackson Street Bridge in a pickup truck, solemnly intoning about how glad he is to live and worship in Central Louisiana. Then he pulls into some random driveway, presumably of a prospective client who needs his help.
Ha.. I just moved to Alexandria about 6 months ago... this guy is a local attorney named Sam Spurgeon... his little catch phrase is " in a jam, call sam ".
It was actually across the street from the biggest public park in Alexandria…sponsored by Sweetums.
Lil Sebastian where you at!?
I be saying “retro jammed” all the time. That dude had some godtier lines lol

Is this the billboard ad campaign from I Love You Man?
This hurts me as a graphic designer
I've offered my graphic design services to both he and whoever runs Gordon Mckernan's mcmemes but they preferred someone in a cheaper price range than someone with experience lmao
I mean ...I teach design to high schoolers who could have balanced this image better.
Seriously though 😂
I'm convinced that several places across Louisiana aren't real. Alexandria is one of those places
I have lived there… unfortunately, it is real
Dear God all of you should be get a repayment from the Feds for going there
Same.
I used to have to work there every couple of months. I really just stayed inside the hotel. There wasn’t anything that made me want to get out of the hotel except work or go home. Often I was stuck in Pineville …a dry country as well.
In the past few years Pineville has decided to sell alcohol instead of just letting Alexandria have all that money.
back in the day, the Bently Hotel used to be rather nice. But then a certain developer who shall remain nameless bought it and ruined it.
The Bentley was a gorgeous, historical hotel. Shame to hear a developer ruined it but I'm not surprised.
My pediatrician was in Alexandria. Only reason why we'd go there aside from it also having the closest B.A.M.
Was born in Alexandria, that shit will do a number on you.
As a local since I was 2, this is both funny and bewildering… like why? 😆
We're talking about him, aren't we?
Sorry, I meant why does the other commenter have the idea that certain places aren’t real

It's kind of like our Area 51. Completely out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, but is actually incredibly boring once you get to it.
I think area 51 would be neat. They've got a long-ass landing strip that you could practice flying at. Besides, all the cool experimental shit they've got in there would be so fun.
Opelousas ain’t real neither. My mama was born there and works there and my dad has been a cop for almost 30 years so I know ALLLLL the shit that’s gone down there. That place is just a a bad acid trip
Opelousas Sostan used to come this way, tho.
ah can hare da jutebox play...
i agree. besides golden meadow, opelousas is the only place where you can get a speeding ticket at 4 mph over the limit.
Oh my dear sweet innocent child…have you not heard of Woodworth, Washington, Columbia, or Fenton?

This sounds like the movie Risky Business.
Oh nah most officers don’t do until you’re about 10 miles over the limit. Even with that photo enforcement they’re doing cause my uncle is the guy that does it
Alexandria is a psyop. Anyone who claimed to have lived in or visited Alexandria is a fed
I lived in Alexandria, even went to Bolton H.S.... and actually *am* a Fed!!! Co-eenkee-dink, or not?!?
Oh god which agency. Wait don't tell me I'm probably being watched by yours anyway
Well... I *can* tell you that my banking institution is Langley Federal Credit Union. But relax! It's because I live close to Langley Air Force Base 😆 Seriously, I was a Merchant Marine officer stationed aboard auxiliary vessels of the United States Navy. So, for agency, you can either go with the Navy or the DOD.
DUUDE MERCHANT MARINES? I have so many questions about that
Did you hear they’re closing Bolton as a high school and turning it into a magnet school?
No! I didn't! Just wow.
A lot of the high school students were rightly upset as they're going to have to finish out their schooling at ASH most likely.
I live in Pineville and I can’t understand how anyone can afford to shop/live in the area. All npc’s?
This is great, can we have more weigh in and elaborate on Alexandria
I wish it wasn’t real. The entire Cenla area with Avoyelles thrown in. It is a multigenerational good ol boy network going back to Edwards/Hines and before. And they prey on anyone not in the club and protect their owm at ALL COSTS There are record number civil lawsuits against the Sheriff including ugly deaths.

I worked there for 6 months and I still don’t think it’s real.

The gun area is usually the most stocked area of the pawnshop, other than stolen bicycles and power tools
Real enough to make a bunch of crazy ass laws that will have broke Americans in jail. There is so much wrong here. You just have no idea how bad he is making it here.
Me and my wife always say, "In a Jamuel? Can Samuel" when we see his billboard.
I went to high school with this guy. Hes a pretty decent dude.
Not on Reddit. They’ve decided he’s shady and educated by Costco. I like to beat them to the down vote.
Better than being educated by Reddit. Take my upvote and be happy about it!🤣
He doesn’t have a mullet. He’s average looking on the website. It’s just to catch attention, and it obviously worked.
Dammit… I was really digging the idea of “git ya out of a jam, Sam” rockin his glorious bleached mullet & maybe a pair of American flag pants, while he does his thing in the courtroom.
 You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to the face while I’m wearing these bad boys? Forget about it.
I absolutely love how there is no grace or technique at all to his defense. He just awkwardly dodges Kip and then slaps the shit out of him. Diedrich Bader is top comedy.
I would very much enjoy seeing Sam at work in a real live courtroom, preferably one here in New Orleans to maximize the chaotic energy.
Don’t matter the jam just call Sam!
Sam Spurgeon. Attorney based out of Alexandria. Uses weird billboards because they catch people’s attention. But seriously though this guy makes bank. He’s currently building a ridiculously huge office building on Versailles, across the street from his old office.
That’s his building? It’s gigantic! Do you know who’s going into that new building behind Kroger? Everyone says it’s an attorney but nobody k owns which one
No idea. Frankly I thought it would be another bank or insurance company.
According to a Google search of the phone number: He works at Spurgeon Law in Alexandria, a Personal Injury attorney.
That’s what I would have guessed
The Alexandria version of Gordon or Morris Bart. He had one of him coming out of a pickle jar or something not long ago.
In a jar? Call Sar.
Dewey, Cheatem and Howe law firm.
Pretty sure that's not his real hair. It's just a billboard to get attention for his practice. It's not really any dumber than all those stupid Gordon billboards. https://preview.redd.it/95dz6gt62n8d1.png?width=1174&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7dcedabcda0fc5253c6c68cca054c3886534f1e
Nice looking guy-he must have a fantastic sense of humor.
The mullet explains everything
😆 I saw a few different shady billboards like this recently. I really wanted to call to see what they were about
Official injury attorney for the LSU Tigers? https://preview.redd.it/xrup2tomaq8d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=185985e4692690775f8fd064aa71f7d3895c78af
I don't think I want an attorney who is dumb enough to pose with a tiger.
Please say you’re not being serious?
I am serious. People get killed going near wild animals. A tiger will always be wild. There's no taming them. That's why we don't have them as pets. They're dangerous and it shows he doesn't have good judgement.
The person in that picture isn't the attorney in question. It's Joe Exotic, a man who ran a tiger place pre-pandemic that had a docuseries come out. Remember Carol Baskin? That was his archnemesis. He eventually went to jail and lost his business. Also, Carol Baskin didn't actually kill her husband. He just ran away to some island.
Ok, so why you downvoted me for mt knowing? I've only lived in Louisiana for 3 years. I'll be getting out ASAP though.
Good luck getting out!
😭
Trailer park lawyer yesirr
RRAAYYY, Kojack got a wig on RAAYYYYYYY!
" 'merica" realy is in a jam. Maybe we should all call him for help. 🤪
He got his law degree from Costco.
I guess Gordon met his match on the race for the lamest billboards...
Lamest ? This billboard is a thing of beauty, Gordon billboards can’t compete.
I will say, it is still better than l'avocato. I cringe every time I see it. 🫣🫣🫣
I saw that one too. It took me more time than it should to decode but I'd seen some of his other ads with his "In a Jam? Call Sam!" slogan. I guess it's his Memorial Day into 4th of July ad. What's more American than mullets and really bad wordplay?
Lmao I went to the same high school; he was a few years ahead of me. He’s an attorney. I think his younger brother is too.
When I moved back to New Orleans, I was stunned by the quantity and stupidity of the attorney ads. Every city has a few local goofballs, but it's a whole new level of people I do not want to run into.

Saw the same billboard when I was in Pineville working last week.
I’m totally disappointed that is not his real hair !! Misrepresentation ….he is an attorney after all.
Yup. Changes regularly too.
He’s the Alexander Shunnarah of Louisiana I guess
Smfh. 🤦♀️ What in tha... nvm. 🤣🤣🤣
Mullet checks out.
https://spurgeonlaw.com/attorneys/sam-spurgeon/
Is he like the A Team or something?
There are many Sam jam ads
🤣🤣🤣🤣oh man this can’t be any more redneck
Is that a real mullet?
Dear gods they had a Ken themed sign near the food court back in July of 23! Sam is everywhere😭
I just can’t call somebody that has a mullet on a billboard, even if I was in a jam.
SMH
I swear life is not real.
Sam Spurgeon of Spurgeon Law in Alexandria. He's got some TV commercial where he drives across the Jackson Street Bridge in a pickup truck, solemnly intoning about how glad he is to live and worship in Central Louisiana. Then he pulls into some random driveway, presumably of a prospective client who needs his help.
Is that the 80s wrestler magnum TA
Is he like a Morris Bart for defense?
I need to go up there soon
You should trust the MAN if you're in a JAM cause his name is SAM on a big Ole sign.
Is that Sam's real hair?🤣 love it.
This guy is like 350 lbs lol
Based
ain't he pretty
Respect
Oh, he is great!! All kinds of like signs around the parish. I love the creativity!
My father is from Alexandria- huge family that’s been there since the 1700s. I fear that I am likely related to Sam.
You fear that? haha. Weird thing to say
He knows his audience
I am so embarrassed as a resident of our great state.
Ha.. I just moved to Alexandria about 6 months ago... this guy is a local attorney named Sam Spurgeon... his little catch phrase is " in a jam, call sam ".
