Odd things I'd seemingly do all day if I could

Besides watching the Mets. Make HTML tables Clear paper jams

Oddly enough, those are the top two things I NEED to do all the time but haven't a clue about. Can you provide some clues for the clueless, about either task?

Paper jams: Open up and tool around. Follow little diagrams on the door to open the various parts of the machine. Don't touch metal without checking to see if it's hot. HTML Tables: <table> starts a table and </table> closes one. <tr> starts a row and </tr> closes one. <td> starts a cell within a column and </td> closes one. You're in business. <table><tr><td>A-1</td><td>A-2</td><td>A-3</td></tr> <tr><td>B-1</td><td>B-2</td><td>B-3</td></tr> <tr><td>C-1</td><td>C-2</td><td>C-3</td></tr></table>

For some reason, when I read the subject of this thread, "Odd things I'd seemingly do all day if I could" I expected, when opening it, to see a photo of Courtney Love.

No. I mean, yeah, I'd do gratuitous stuff like eat, drink, and fondle all day if I could. These are odder pleasures and distractions that I don't fully understand why they engage my addled mind.

Walk around, preferably in the city, bouncing a blue rubber ball. It's best in the city because I can walk just about anywhere I please, no mind payed to silly things like direction and destination, and still bring myself back to Point A with relative ease.

Play Internet Poker and Diamond Mind baseball.

I like that rubber ball idea. I'll chase a frisbee.

My dog thinks, scratch him under the chin.

I'm not sure I've ever done this, but I imagine I would love to assemble scaffolding all day.
