Bill’s Quik Stops

It was recently pointed out to me that I am a bit of a weirdo when it comes to visiting odd or sketchy gas stations. I can’t help it though. If you know of an unusual, odd or super sketchy station, please let me know and I will check it out. Bill’s falls under the category of unusual, but quite awesome.
Located on the outskirts of Picayune (Pih-​Cune if you’re a local), Bill’s is a true one stop shop. It is what I like to refer to as a redneck gas station. I don’t use that term in a derogatory way, but Rednecks love certain things in gas stations that us city folks sometimes leave out when stocking typical gas stations. Here are the things that make this place unique:
Advertisements on the doors and windows — Small town gas stations are visited by everyone. What better place to advertise your four wheeler, motorcycle or goats for sale? That’s right, I said goats. When I walked in and saw the advertisement for goats I was overjoyed. These weren’t your typical goats either, these goats were half pygmy. Half-​Pygmy Goats! Hell Yes! They were only $ 80 and the owner was willing to deal since they «must go».
Dead animal heads — No self respecting redneck gas station would be complete without at least one dead animal head on the wall. Bill’s most impressive specimen was a deer killed way back in 1993. I could have stood there and stared at it for hours had the cashier not started to leer at me.
Beer shed — This walk in cooler was stocked with all of the typical redneck brands. Bud Heavy, Bud Light, Natural Light, Shlitz and even Keystone.
Unique items — This is where redneck stores really stand out, and Bill’s was no exception. Sure they had the normal selection of cokes, powerade, etc, but they had so much more. What other store could you get Bug No Stick, Tractor hydraulic fluid, quail eggs and Hot nuts? Nowhere!
If you are anywhere near this store, I highly recommend you pay it a visit. Grab yourself a powerade, a bag of local pork rinds and maybe even buy some goats.
