This is a colon : and this is a semi-colon ; - what's a semi-truck?

All I can think about is that Chris Burden piece ("Big Wrench") where he stole his ex-wife's savings so he could buy a lemon of a rig called "Big Job". Then, Burden despondently sits in front of a green-screen video of 18-wheelers and rigs driving around while he laments 1970s trucker-culture and tells the story of how 'Big Job' cursed him and nearly ruined his life. Performance Art at its finest.
