So I had my first peek into a wormhole earlier with a shuttle (bought especially for the wormhole) and was killed in two shots by a Tengu (I was on change cooldown) and a third hit my pod, so i thought, I'm dead but kept hitting enter wormhole just in case, I made it out alive and my pod on low structure, so two things.
One: Has anyone else pod tanked a Tengu
Two: Real men pod tank, slightly lesser men hull tank, then we get onto the other tanks.

Real Men fly into the gunfire in their pod, unafraid of clone resurrection.

Real Men(tm) *are* gunfire, being launched from a 1400mm artillery cannon with a knife in their teeth, wearing nothing but a loincloth and a ziplock bag of air on their head.

Real men biomass.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

Knife? Loincloth? Air?

You wuss. I break spaceships in half with the impact of my manly chin.

Once someone almost pod-tanked my nearly maxed skilled stealth bomber alt, took the rest of the clip of torps and possibly beyond the old session timer. Just be glad that timer's reduced and you didn't need to slowboat too far.

Real mean eat dog food straight from the can then tank in the can.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Real men fly Minmatar caps. You're probably safer being shot out of a 1400mm cannon than you are in a Hel.

Real men eject from their ship in a pod and then eject from their pod into space

Honor Tanking is clearly superior to hull tanking.

I bet that Tengu pilot felt so awesome after killing a shuttle.
