In all seriousness,
I asked my Mom (who is Chinese) if she could translate.
The top sign says (in pinyin) te4 bi3
The bottom sign says si1tu3pai4
Doesn't seem to mean anything. As TiUser wrote, perhaps it is a sound for sound translation of a non-Chinese word? The bottom sign could mean "SiTu party" -- party as in a political party named "Si Tu".
Anyway, I'm like Wailer -- most of the Chinese I understand is shouted and contains phrases like "why aren't you like your cousin Eugene who got into Harvard?"
Hope this helps... what is the significance of the signs anyway?
Bink.
