Since the day I heard it - and for the rest of my days - when we get around the holidays and somebody lists pumpkin pie on the menu, I think about when he called in before LSU played Notre Dame and Scott Prather asked him his favorite Thanksgiving desert.
"Mais, pumpkin piieeeeee...."
The Ta Tai thing came about when the Hornets moved to New Orleans. They were trying to think of a name for them that was unique to Louisiana and they came up with Ta Tai. Somebody said that nobody outside of Louisiana would know what it was. The discussion then moved on to what exactly was a Ta Tai. Many callers came up with a definition but this is how Pauls call went down:
Jay (looking at the caller ID) "This guy will know what a Ta Tai is"
Jay answers the phone and it is Paul.
Jay asks "Paul what is a Ta Tai"
Paul "It's common knowledge" (LOL)
Jay "It's common knowledge to someone 100 years old and from Breaux Bridge Louisiana"
Another favorite call went like this, Paul called Jay and all of a sudden Paul said "I gotta go" and he hung up.
About 30 minutes later Paul called back and resumed the conversation like he never left. As Paul was finished Jay asked " Paul, what did he buy?"
Paul was a little confused and Jay asked the same question with the same confused response from Paul. Jay then said "About 30 minutes ago you had to hang up, what did he buy?
Paul said "Oh, a fifth of Jack Daniels and ten dollars of gas"
ROTFLMAO.
Ditto! As is Leeman, I too am an RN, and used to work at Lourdes. Never had the honor to serve Paul through caring for him. I now work in Pauls home town hospital in Breaux Bridge(man the cooking is good here). We have seen some of the 1420 staff here(great people).
I am one of those who was(is) always a Paul fan. When my wife or kids first heard Paul on the radio they always said with a huge smile on their face, "Who is that?"
My wife from that point on anytime Paul came on would tell the kids or even me to quite down and she would listen intently and laugh like a child again.
Paul from my family to yours, "Now that your in Heaven you'll never miss another ball game, 1420 call in show, or customer in the store, but to a radio friend I never met, you will be sorely missed!"
Anybody have a picture or an obituary on Paul? I always wonder what the regular callers look like, especially Paul.
Paul was the man, I began liking talk radio only after hearing him call in
Pellerin Funeral Home in Breau Bridge was in charge of the funeral arrangements. They have his obituary listed but no picture. Also everything pending. I would have liked to seen a picture also. Maybe someone have one. You can google Pellerin funeral home in Breau Bridge and check it out. www.pellerinfuneralhome.com

Who would have thunk it! Paul was an SLI alum in Geology!
