You guys are so quick that I after I got a little behind (like when my script was missing one or more characters needed in order to complete sentences) I ended up totally in your dust. I have to do over 100 sentences to catch up now!

Quoting for Truth:
Of course, 老子 didn't have air travel at his disposal. You could just jump in at 132, fly back across the date line to do some earlier sentences yesterday, and still be back in time for dinner tomorrow to do 134 without anyone noticing.Depending on how pesky real life tugs at your schedule, your turns could look like: 132, 5, 6, 7; 133, 134, 8, 9; 135, 136, 10, 11, 12, 13; 137, 138, 14; 139, 140, 15-22; etc., etc.
Catching up before playing in earnest was cute back when there were 15-odd sentences, but PTSnoop and I have had a pretty intense volley going for a while (I've slowed down this week just 'cause it's too hot to live), and I've worried that some potential players may have thrown up their hands in despair of tackling an ever-enlarging corpus before joining in the reindeer games. Since we're not playing "The Minister's Cat", the sentences aren't cumulative ("Don't know who shot JR? Then this episode will make no sense to you.") and the wordbank doesn't move or grow ("The minister's cat's a maleficent cat." -- not going to happen), so why not just start at whatever sentence the game is on at the moment and let your rate of catch-up, if you feel it necessary at all, be determined by the proportion of guilt you're racked with over the pile of dirty dishes in the sink.
That's what I would do.
