It's 3am and I'm looking at my first stout brew that just blew the airlock and won't stop foaming - is there a way to stop that or should I dump it?
 
NO!!!! Dumping it would be a travesty! Leave the airlock off and install a blowoff tube. Check out www.howtobrew.com for detailed instructions on how to do this.

Basically, you have a very active fermentation.
 
Aside from being totally anal about sanitation, I think blow-off tubes are the first major lesson we all need to learn as homebrewers.
