Unhappy How do I bleed the air from my coolant???

Hey guys, I know that this is a fairley simple procedure, but ive never done it myself, and all im doing is making a mess, and wasting coolant/$$$
The way im doing it, is pouring coolant into the system while the car is running, and watching for bubbles. Im getting it all over the floor cause it pours right back out and im making a big mess...

I just finished changing out my turbo coolant hoses and several vacuum hoses, and started the car for the first time today so my question is..... What is the best way to efficiently burp the cooalnt system???

I use a funnel system from Lisle. It works great for keeping the air out of the cooling system. It connects to the filler neck, and allows the air to burp out of the system and it replaces it with coolant. Once it's full, you just stick the piece in the funnel to seal it off, and pull it off.
