Parties!
Nodaisho:
I think that the best part of that would be waking them up early the next morning and talking really loudly. Because I am an asshole.

I used to live in a nudist house with a pool and a hot tub.
Our parties were, as you might imagine, quite entertaining, bordering on legendary debauchery.
You'd walk in the door, and about a third of the party would be fully clothed, a third fully naked, and a third in some state of disrobing or getting dressed again. The line "Oh, I didn't recognize you with your clothes on" was quite common. I think that sort of party takes the right mixture though; alchohol was involved, excessive inebriation was not; nudity was involved, but sex was not (though obviously flirtation is a different game when clothes are optional). It worked best by keeping the invite list discrete, bringing people by the house as a guest before the party so that they at least knew what to expect .. and obviously the frat-boy-drunk-type were unwelcome.
A tip for throwing very good parties, by the way, is, pick a theme and go with it. One of my favorite parties is the Capitalism party, whose theme is .. well, money is printed, everybody gets some money at the door, jobs are on offer (e.g., manning the bar, manning the casino, etc), and the party-goer's task is to arrive with some good or service which they think they'll be able to sell. You can always buy low, sell high, too, if you can identify items that will be in-demand later in the party. It works brilliantly: the "need" to interact, to "sell" your product, provides a very good, socially acceptable way for even introverts to get out of their shell.
Another tip - if you're hosting a big party, don't let people in the house unless they're a friend. Yes, this means you need a door guard, but do you really want uninvited, unknown-to-you guests showing up, drinking your drinks, eating your food, and trashing your place? This is especially a problem in urban areas and college towns. If you've gone with a costume theme of any sort, flat out reject every individual who can't be bothered to show up in costume: that alone will keep most of the riffraff out!

This is an awesome idea. I hope I get to use it sometime.

Why haven't you already formed a band with this name Johnny.
Also I remember there was this kind of tradition called "Saturday Morning Nude" at my friends house after a party that everyone would get naked and sit around in the morning. The origins of this are lost in the sands of time and substance abuse, but eventually we had a hardcore group of about fifteen people that would make a point of hanging around after the party to wake up the next morning and spend the morning hanging around nude punching cones and watching TV.
Of course, you'd always wind up with people who weren't really familiar with the tradition, pass out drunk and would wake up in a house full of nude people watching kids cartoons, which quite frankly was a massive part of the appeal. you could tell a lot about a persons character observing how they reacted to Saturday Morning Nude.
