Let the car cool down completely. Open the radiator cap, and start the car. If it bubbles, you've got bad coolant o-rings and will require either a new engine or a rebuild. If not, check things like the radiator cap, water pump, etc.

You said bored....yeah...bored.
Did you replace your thermostat? If the top hose is hard from pressure when warm, then it is stuck. Replace it w/ a new OEM gasket, align properly.
I take it that the spitting is from the overflow......

No, it sounds like bad coolant seals.
Start the car up cold, let it spew (which it should NOT do, btw) and fill the rad back up. If it keeps shooting out water, you need to take it to a mechanic and have them test for exhaust in the coolant, since that's the only real test.

Overheated engines are rarely salvegable - the rotor housings are usually toast, and if it was REALLY killed, the front endplate will be, too.
Do a quick search - there's lots of info.
