Gooeys and Spikeys

Can someone identify the article in which the writer outlines the differences between analytic and continental philosophy using the metaphor of 'gooey' (continental) and 'spikey/sharpies' (analytic)?
It's quoted here, but I'm not seeing a citation to the source:

Best answer: Alan Watts was the name that jumped to mind for me, too. Here's an animated video of the "prickles & goo" talk.
At first I typed "pickles & goo", which sounds like tsukemono + natto. Oog.
