I am trying to make a t-shirt for old guys (like me) that's a take off
of the old Olympic Motto: "Citius, Altius, Fortius" (faster, higher,
stronger). So I need the matching tense and Latin translation to
accompany the expression "Older, Fatter, Balder".

Thanks!

Dear bhansen,

A good Latin translation of "Older, fatter, balder" is: "Senius,
crassius, calvius".

Best regards,

Not being a Latin scholar I can't rate at the top or tip you at the
moment - but once I have feedback (a t-shirt will do that) I'll be
happy to raise both! Thanks for giving me a quick answer to soething I
haven't been able to find elsewhere, however (including from my
daughter's Latin teacher!)

Coming to this late.

As these are  designed to be relevant for men, the correct
comparatives should be masculine, senior, pinguior, calvior.

Fatter -- pinguior

Balder -- calvior

Older -- senior

The given forms in the Answer are neuter comparatives, and are
adverbial rather than adjectival. Pinguis is the more common and
preferable word for fatness. Crassus (and its comparatives) carries
the connotation of dull-witted.

However, crassior is possible:

Fatter -- crassior
