Coolant Spray?

So i took my '79 like 1/2 a mile today and parked it. I havn't been having any problems with it for a while so this was a total surprise. I walked over to it about 2 hours later and my friend was like "That's alot of coolant!" and it seems to have spewed the contents of the overflow canister out of the bottom radiator hose. Which is strange. Cause the overflow was empty, but the radiator was full and the bottom hose was dripping. I started it up, the temp gauge shot to way past overheating, but with a little idle it went back down. Than i went to check the radiator and the NOT HOT fuild sprayed out of the cap when i took it off. Why??????????????????
