Thank you. Would you place any commas in the phrase "sticky long thin vegetable"?

How about the phrase "unusally strong big tall man"? How would you order them? Do you think we need to place any commas in them? Any help from you would be appreciated.

Well, frankly, I don't remember ever having to (or wanting to) write a phrase like that, so I have to go to the rule books on that, which say that, yes, you have to put commas between adjectives.
